ONE CONNECTED PROCESS
A garden is experienced as a whole: the view from the house, the route to a terrace, the shelter around a dining table and the planting beside a path. Our work brings those relationships together, whether the project centres on a pool and pavilion, an outdoor kitchen or a complete garden.
Design establishes the direction. Project management carries that direction into the work on site. With both part of the conversation, the plans, materials and construction decisions can be considered together as the project develops.
Our approach draws on hands-on landscape construction experience as well as design. We look closely at how a space will be used and how its elements come together, from the broad layout to the junction between two materials.
HOW WE WORK
We begin with your ideas, your property and the way you want to live outdoors. The first conversation helps establish your priorities, the scope of the landscape and the questions that need to be explored.
A consultation develops that understanding through the site, its levels and its relationship with the home. We discuss budget, timing and the design direction before setting out the proposed services.
The concept brings layout, circulation, materials and planting into one composition. Places to cook, dine, swim or sit are considered in relation to each other, with space for the garden itself to provide character.
We work through the design with you, refining the balance between the overall vision and the details that make it personal.
3D visualizations make the proposed landscape easier to understand. They reveal the scale of spaces, the relationship between levels and the effect of materials and planting, giving you a clearer basis for design decisions.
Day, evening and seasonal views can explore different aspects of a design. The images also provide a shared reference when discussing the project with the people involved in its construction.
Once the design direction is agreed, detailed plans translate it into information for the landscape contractor. Depending on the project scope, these can cover levels, hardscape, construction details, planting, lighting, irrigation and material quantities.
The drawings and visualizations serve different purposes: one explains how the landscape is assembled, while the other helps communicate the intended experience.
For projects across Ontario, our project management service connects the design with the construction process. We coordinate with you and the landscape contractor, review progress and workmanship, and help resolve questions as the work develops.
Clear communication keeps decisions, changes and next steps visible. Site oversight and progress reporting provide continuity through the build, with the management scope set out for your project and location.
DESIGN & DELIVERY
The design remains a reference throughout construction. When a material choice, site condition or detail needs a decision, we help consider it in relation to the whole landscape.
For projects in Ontario, project management gives you a point of coordination between the design and the work taking place. It is an integral part of our end-to-end service, with the level of involvement tailored to the project.
