Creating a Native
Ecosystem at Home

Client Testimony

“Working with Dean and Tom was a pleasure—professional, communicative, and genuinely invested in creating a garden that not only enhances the space but also makes a positive environmental impact.”

our process

  • Person standing in a yard near a house, inspecting plants and shrubs

    1. inventory & concept

    we start by getting to know your site—testing soil, identifying plants, flying the drone—and from here, create early concept sketches and diagrams.

  • Several landscape design sketches drawn on translucent paper, spread across a table

    2. design development

    we hone-in on site-specific solutions through the design process—it's how we decide on the overall layout, materials, and plant species for the project.

  • Person carrying a large potted plant in a nursery

    3. construction documentation

    this is the nerdy phase where we get nitty-gritty with your design by identifying vendors, order materials, and coordinate the installation.

  • Curved pathway under construction with gravel and metal edging in place

    4. installation & management

    after hand-selecting plants and materials, we guide you through the construction and installation process, including a long-term management plan.
