Charting new directions for a site is exciting; it can take time to find a preferred direction. My services include a presentation of options for softscaping and hardscaping that will complement and bring value to your surroundings. This will provide you with an opportunity to consider directions before “the spade touches the ground”.

Working alongside the client, I begin each project with a preliminary consultation, site visit and site analysis. Products include: a hand-drafted Base Drawing that maps the existing site; a Concept Plan that includes features to be incorporated in the new landscape; and a finished Master Plan with Planting Plan and Construction Details, along with detailed notes to provide sufficient detail for professional installation of your landscape plan. I provide an estimate for your project after the initial site visit and discussion.

Over time, landscapes inevitably change and they may no longer bring joy or showcase their former beauty. There may be interest in transforming an urban lawn to a Garry Oak meadow ecosystem or changing plant species to those better adapted to low water environments. My services include management actions that can create more beautiful and higher functioning landscapes. 

Stewardship & Maintenance

Working with a team of experienced contractors, I provide ongoing care to maintain landscapes through the seasons and work to preserve natural landscapes. 

About

Philosophy 


I design natural landscapes that bring meaning and beauty into people's lives.


Every project is unique. Every project reflects the client’s perspective, budget, location, values and expectations.

 
And for every project, regardless of scope or scale, I strive to design and build stronger relationships between people and the natural environment.


All projects are guided by the understanding that outdoor spaces should not only be beautiful, but also functional and sustainable. 


We work closely with our clients to create outdoor environments that are both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally responsible.

I acknowledge with respect the Lekwungen peoples on whose traditional territory I live and the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day. I acknowledge the territories of First Nations around British Columbia and I am grateful to carry out work on these lands.
