We specialize in helping people increase the value and beauty of their homes or businesses by designing inviting outdoor spaces inspired by nature. Using weathered boulders, stone accents, ornamental trees, tranquil water features, lush moss, native bushes, delicate ferns and adding a crackling fire pit, we will create your own serene oasis.
Much of the work we do is informed and influenced by Japanese garden design principles. We embrace human-scaled proportion, authenticity, seasonality, borrowed scenery, asymmetry, concealment, discovery and wabi sabi.
Design concepts are presented in the form of hand-drawn sketches, site plans and detailed specifications. Our ultimate goal is to connect people with nature in an artful and impactful way that few designers can match.
