Naturalistic landscapes can look elegant as well as be ecological when designed with water-wise and ecologically-sensitive features, carefully chosen plant combinations and highly-considered paths & exterior spaces​​
​
Our ethos is our primary objective: craft opulent, eco-conscious landscapes tailored for clients who appreciate both luxury and sustainability
Ecological & Sustainable
Our vision is to design healthy exterior spaces which develop into contemporary lush landscapes with little input or maintenance, other than seasonal management
We aspire to leverage a system to ensure all designs are on and setting trends
​
After the initial consultation, site analysis and assessment is completed, we provide a multi-layered palette of plant specifications which combines our extensive knowledge of local trees, shrubs and perennials into a private, elegant transition connecting your property with the surrounding ecosystem
2D & 3D Schematic Design
​
After an in-depth study of the property, clearly defining the clients' goals and landscape visions are at the heart of our schematic design process
With the use of scaled CAD layout plans of the whole landscape, 3D modelling and visuals of renderings and 'as-built' shop drawing production, we can aid in generating installation estimates and municipal approvals ​

Beyond design services, SARAH VALENTINE DESIGN also offers project installation supervision during construction, as well as providing plant procurement working collaboratively with several local nurseries which can save time and ensure optimal quality​​​​
