Residential
Whole gardens, terraces and outdoor rooms designed around how a household actually lives outside — privacy, shelter, planting and craftsmanship.
Gardens drawn,
built and kept.
I — The practice
A garden is a set of decisions about ground, water, light and time.
A landscape design and build practice working across private gardens, outdoor living spaces and managed commercial grounds — from survey and concept drawings through construction, planting and long-term care. Design and construction sit in the same practice, so the detail that is drawn is the detail that gets built.
How we work →
II — Disciplines in view
Terraces, borders, walls, grounds.
III — What we do
Eight strands of work, one practice.
- 01Landscape designSurvey, concept and construction drawings for a garden or grounds — worked out on paper before anything is dug.
- 02Design & buildOne practice from first survey to final walkthrough, with the people who drew it responsible for building it.
- 03Hardscape & structuresPaving, steps, retaining walls, drainage and built structures — the parts of a garden that carry everything else.
- 04Planting & gardensPlanting plans, soil preparation, tree and shrub planting, borders and lawns established to grow into the design.
- 05Outdoor livingTerraces, sunken seating, cooking and fire areas, shade and screening designed as rooms rather than furniture placement.
- 06Irrigation & lightingWater and light designed into the garden — zoned irrigation and restrained exterior lighting installed with the build.
- 07Commercial groundsLandscape works and grounds care for managed properties, where appearance, durability and access all have to hold up.
- 08Garden stewardshipOngoing care for established gardens and grounds — pruning, bed work, lawns, seasonal tasks and irrigation checks.
IV — Method
From site visit to fifth season.
- 01
Site visit & brief
We walk the site with you, look at levels, soil, drainage, aspect and existing planting, and get clear on how you want to use the space.
- 02
Survey & analysis
Measured information and site analysis — what is retained, what constrains the design, and where water and light actually go.
- 03
Concept design
Layouts, levels and character explored on paper, with materials and planting direction shown, and reviewed with you before detail begins.
- 04
Scope & cost alignment
The design is scoped and priced honestly. Where the brief and budget disagree, we resolve that here rather than during construction.
V — Two kinds of ground
Private gardens, and grounds that open every morning.
VI — After the build
The years that decide the garden.
Planting takes seasons to become the drawing. Stewardship is the recurring horticultural care that gets it there: pruning to the right season, bed and soil work, lawns, irrigation checks and renewal as the garden matures.
VII — Begin
Tell us about the ground you have.
Every project starts the same way: a visit to the site, a conversation about how you want to use it, and an honest read of what the ground and the budget allow. Send us the outline and we’ll take it from there.
