Landscape Design:
Our company offers a full spectrum of landscape design services from concept to completion.  We work closely with our clients, creating custom and individual landscape designs. Site analysis and preliminary sketches define the form, while drafting the “scope of work” to include hardscape and plant material layout, selection, and technical specifications. Conceptual landscape plans are crafted through a series of meetings with the client/agent, allowing input and decision-making.

Custom plans are suited to clients’ preferences.  We create master plans that allow the implementation and installation to occur in phases.  Landscape plans are appropriate for contractor proposals and/or homeowners who are willing to do the installation themselves.

Preliminary landscape plans are suited for building application submissions for developments, from small lot subdivision to large estate custom homes.

Sustainable Design:
Certified in Sustainable Landscape Design – Sonoma State University 2008: “Hire us for your sustainable landscape design. We provide green-minded contractor referrals, green materials, and sustainable landscape plans that allow for habitat and environmental restoration. Custom designs incorporate recycled materials, water conservation methods, sheet mulching, and Best Management Practices (BMP). We also provide bio-swale and rain garden designs for Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plans (SUSMP) standards for developers and homeowners.

Vegetable and Edible Garden Design:
Allow us to design a food garden that will supply your favorite edibles directly to your table. We have over 25 years experience in organic food and flower gardens.

Color Renderings:
Color brings the planting plans to life and lifts the concepts off the page, illustrating the beauty and texture of the proposed garden. Design review board committees and individual homeowners find that these artistic plans tell the story. Plans are customized using watercolor, pen and ink, and colored pencil.  

Photo Montage:
This is a digital photo process that enables us to add or subtract items in your landscape. Right before your very eyes, see the possibilities of adding permanent changes without taking the leap. Ever wonder if a tree is a good idea, or what hardscape materials blend in best with your style? We take a digital photo of your yard and create an image that becomes an instant visual aid to assist you in seeing the finished product—all before any work begins.

In-House Design and Consultation:
(with the opening of our new studio)
Design ideas sometimes don't need a full spectrum landscape design. We offer in-house consultations for customers who need help now. Ask about our in-house conceptual designs by landscape professionals. Call for an appointment and bring your photos and site sketch.

Plant Selection and Purchasing:
We provide plant selection and purchasing for the contractor or homeowner, obtaining plants that are discounted below retail prices. This allows us to locate and bring to you the finest quality plants available. Let our fingers and legs dothe walking. Hand-selected specimen plants are a specialty. The rare and unusual, as well as common, tried-and-true specimens, pose no problem. We’ll find the best for you. As a result of our resourcing with major wholesale and specialty nurseries throughout Northern California, we know our products and suppliers.

Outdoor Furnishings:
The perfect decor can really bring the entire landscape together.  Our design team will locate and create the finishing touches for your outdoor environment, be it the perfect container, water feature, table, chairs, hardscape surfacing, fabric, garden knick-knack, or sculpture.  We will find and resource the products necessary to help you complete the picture. It’s all in the details, and the details begin inside the studio where we provide live and changing showroom displays.  Catalogs and samples allow you to browse through the best selections. Bring in your swatches and let’s start designing!

Special Event Staging:
We can create outdoor environments for weddings, graduations, parties—any outdoor event that needs a facelift, with the use of fully grown trees, lushly planted large containers, art, sculptures, statues, or water features.  No event is too big or too small.  Anything a crane can handle, we can bring.  Proper illumination adds ambience, from a fully lit outdoor venue to a serene and intimate setting.  Make yours an event to remember.
