A little corner. A whole new outside.
A courtyard refresh or a plan for the whole yard. Bring design, paving, planting and the practical details together around the way you want to live outside.

Choose a starting point, then connect the details
Each service can stand on its own, though a larger yard often benefits from a shared plan. We begin by learning how you use the space, what is already there and what needs to stay. From there, the scope can focus on one improvement or set a direction for future phases.
- Garden design: For homeowners who need a clear layout, a planting direction or help resolving several competing ideas. Design helps coordinate use, circulation, materials and planting before individual work is scoped.
- Patios and paths: For outdoor rooms, gathering areas and routes through the garden. The right material and layout depend on access, drainage, existing grades and how the space will be used.
- Planting: For a new garden, a focused refresh or a more coherent mix of trees, shrubs and groundcover. Selection should reflect sun, exposure, mature size, upkeep preferences and available water.
- Irrigation and lighting: For improving how the garden is watered or used after dark. Existing systems, electrical access, plant needs and site conditions should be reviewed before recommendations are set.
Plan before building
Good decisions start with the whole property
A patio can change where people gather. A new tree can affect a path, a view and future maintenance. Looking at the relationships between spaces helps prevent a series of disconnected fixes. The plan can also identify what belongs in the current project, what should be prepared for a later phase and what needs specialist review.
- Share what you want to do outdoors, what frustrates you now and any parts of the garden that must remain.
- Discuss access, drainage, existing utilities, slopes, shade and neighboring conditions. These can affect design and construction choices.
- Confirm which drawings, selections, site preparation and installation are included before work begins. Permits, utility locating and specialist work may require separate coordination.
Shape a useful brief
Start with a conversation about your priorities
Tell us which areas you want to change, how you hope to use them and what you already know about the site. A few photographs and a rough list of priorities are helpful for an initial conversation. A site review is needed to make project-specific recommendations; final scope, materials and any required approvals are confirmed separately.
