​​

We combine a laid-back West Coast approach with naturalistic, low-maintenance plants to create naturescapes: wild-like micro-ecosystems that burst with life while still remaining beautiful and elegant

 

Strong geometric paths, patios and decks using Golden Ratio proportions help to ground the softer, naturalistic elements of our designs

 

Our unique style and clean aesthetic helps to tame the rich diversity of plants we use to connect our clients' outdoor spaces with the natural world 

 

With a background in the sciences of Botany and Ecology, we are inspired by classic ecological settings such as wildflower meadows, grassy woodlands and coastal forests and look to replicate them for our clients

 

We work with large scale residences, project managers, architects and contractors to produce gardens, outdoor entertainment spaces and relaxing atmospheres designed for those using them

Inspired by the biodiversity of the Pacific Northwest, wabi-sabi Japanese garden design and minimalistic Scandinavian indoor-outdoor places, our designs combine the clean aesthetic of contemporary modernism with thickly-layered naturalistic plantings
