During a landscape consultation we will meet and walk with you through your property to better understand your expectations and vision for how you want your garden to function in your life. We will draw up a general plan based on our suggestions for implementing your vision and provide you with estimated costs.

We will look at how the sun, wind and rain/runoff will influence the areas we are developing and how to optimize these influences to create the conditions for your plants, pathways and sitting/play areas. Whenever possible we use reclaimed and sustainably harvested wood for building fences, decks, and all other structures and present you with options for alternatives to wood. When available we build with reclaimed stone or brick. When we do purchase raw materials we seek out local manufacturers and vendors.

Drip irrigation reduces water use because there is less evaporation compared to above ground spray heads. Irrigation emitters are plant specific and only irrigate desirable plants excluding weeds. We create Irrigation zones based on sun and wind influences and watering needs of plants helping to save unnecessary watering.

Greywater systems redirect water used for washing into an irrigation system. Grey water is untreated waste water which has not come into contact with toilet waste.

An organic approach to dealing with pests and disease, gardening without chemicals ensures that the food and plants you grow are free of pesticides or chemicals, growing without danger to the safety of our wildlife.

We encourage Worm Bin composting for composting your food scraps. Worms create vermicompost and castings that are applied to soil and containers adding beneficial microbes and nutrients. We also maintain dry compost piles. Our aim is to compost all plant debris coming out of your garden and most of your food scraps coming out of your kitchen.

Maintenance of irrigation systems includes checking controller programs, running stations, checking for leaks and repairing leaks.

Grey Water maintenance includes flushing systems, refreshing mulch basins and cleaning out grey water outlets.

Rain Water maintenance includes flushing filters and testing first flush diverters.

We prune Fruit Trees and other deciduous trees during their Winter dormancy along with evergreen shrubs and trees after flowering.

Yearly pruning reinvigorates trees and increases harvest of fruits and nut trees.
