Process

First, we listen.
Then, we create.

Every project starts with understanding. The place, the architecture, the people, the climate — and what you want the space to become.

Three stages take the idea from the first conversation to the living landscape.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Understand the place before changing it.

    We look at the architecture, existing landscape, light, soil, water and climate. But we also ask something simpler: how do you want to live here?

    A garden for long lunches needs a different rhythm from one designed for quiet mornings. A hotel landscape has different demands from a private terrace.

    The brief begins there.

    What you receive

    • Site visit and its surroundings assessment
    • Site and environmental observations
    • Understanding of requirements and aspirations
    • Initial scope and budget framework
    • Project proposal

    Design

    Give the landscape its shape.

    Once we understand the place, we begin designing.

    We develop the spatial language of the landscape — where you move, pause, gather and look. Materials, levels and planting are considered together, so the landscape feels like part of the architecture rather than something added to it.

    The idea is resolved before it reaches the site.

    What you receive

    • Landscape concept and spatial strategy
    • Material and planting direction
    • Detailed design drawings
    • Planting plans and schedules
    • Cost estimates

    Plant & Build

    Turn the drawing into something living.

    This is where the landscape leaves the page.

    Our site and horticulture teams work together through construction and planting, paying attention to the details that make the difference — how a stone meets an edge, where a tree sits, how plants are grouped and how the landscape settles into its surroundings.

    Then we step back and let it grow.

    What you receive

    • Landscape construction and installation
    • Plant sourcing and planting
    • Material and plant approvals
    • Site coordination and execution
    • Handover and completion review

A note on time

Built once.
Made to last.

01

Designed to age well

We plan for how a landscape will look years from now — canopies that will lift, shade that will move, planting that settles into place without needing us to stay on.

02

Yours from handover

When the work is complete, the garden is yours. We leave clear planting notes and simple guidance so you can care for it confidently from day one.

Design and planting — then the garden is yours
