Native plants are a core part of my design approach because they are essential for our local ecosystem. They are beautiful, required for local wildlife, and naturally hardy to our climate. While I specialize in natives, I may incorporate non-native plants as specimen features or when a client has a strong preference for them.

Traditional "contractor-build" landscapes often use plants that struggle here and require constant upkeep. Native plants evolved in our region; they are low-maintenance, functional, and support the birds, bees, and butterflies that make a garden feel alive.

Not at all. To me, native design = modern design. I create sophisticated, elegant landscapes that feel serene and "enveloped in beauty," proving that a sustainable garden can be incredibly polished and never messy.

I work with those who want a garden that makes a difference—whether you are a new homeowner wanting a mindful sensibility, or you’re looking to "reboot" a tired yard into something more elegant, sophisticated, and sustainable.

Consultation and design fees are discussed at the end of our initial phone call, once I have a clear understanding of your landscape needs and project scope.

The process begins with an in-person consultation at your property. After that, I present the completed design during a Zoom meeting so we can review everything together and ensure it aligns with your vision.

I do not provide formal architectural plat renderings. Instead, I create hand-drawn design sketches on my iPad using photos taken at your property. This gives you a more realistic and personal view of how the landscape will look from your actual yard and perspective.

I focus on the design and plant selection to ensure the "right plant is in the right place." For the physical build, I partner with a trusted local company to carry out the installation proposal. They also offer optional landscape maintenance services to keep your design thriving.
