How We Work

Every garden and gardener is unique, so our process is flexible to fit your needs—whether you're looking for full design support, hands-on coaching, or expert consultation.

1. Initial Consultation

We start with a conversation about your goals. Whether you need help designing a new garden, restoring an existing landscape, or learning how to care for your plants, we tailor our approach to suit you. If you’re happy with your current landscape but want to improve its health and longevity, we offer coaching on restorative pruning, soil care, and sustainable maintenance practices.

2. Custom Design & Planning

If you're looking for a design, we create a customized plant palette for your space and review it together to ensure it aligns with your vision. From there, you have options:

  • DIY Installation Support: We provide a garden renovation roadmap, including a plant and material order list, so you can install it at your own pace. If you'd like extra guidance, we can be there on planting day to place plants and optimize spacing for the best results.

  • Full-Service Installation: We design the garden and work with our fastidious gardening team to ensure every plant is installed with care and precision.

  • Collaboration with Your Landscaper: If you already have a landscaper, we’re happy to work alongside them to ensure your garden is installed as intended.

3. Ongoing Support & Maintenance Guidance

Garden Maintenance Tools

Once your garden is in place, we provide expert guidance to ensure your plants thrive for years to come. Whether you prefer a hands-on approach or want seasonal check-ins, we offer the knowledge and support you need.
