Design that starts with you
Step 1
Discover your vision
Before a single plant is chosen or stone is placed, I take the time to understand how you want to live outside. Do you imagine quiet mornings with coffee in hand, or lively gatherings with friends? Low-maintenance simplicity, or lush, layered gardens? Every choice flows from this first conversation.
Step 2
Design with intention
From the shape of a path to the placement of lighting, each decision is guided by your vision and refined with my experience. The process is about creating something special together—an outdoor space that feels both personal and timeless.
Step 3
Build With Care
I take on only a handful of projects each season, which means I'm the one on-site, not a rotating crew. From initial design to the final stone, I personally guide the process, ensuring every detail meets my standard and reflects your expectations.
