What the studio does.

Meadow Restoration.

For lots between half an acre and ten where most of the work is replacing turf and invasives with a sustainable, deep-rooted meadow. Slower to mature than a planting bed but lower in long-term water and maintenance — and a meadow is where most of the wildlife on a property lives.

  • Engagement4–8 months · phased install
  • Establishment window2–3 growing seasons
  • Maintenance load1 mow/year, year-three onward
  • Best for1+ acre rural or semi-rural lots
From $18,000

Urban & Small-Lot Gardens.

City lots, narrow side yards, courtyards and roof gardens. The architectural problem is denser and the privacy planning matters more, but the design language doesn't change — native-first, year-round structure, salvaged stone where we can find it.

  • Engagement2–4 months · single property
  • Lot sizeUnder 1/4 acre
  • SpecialtyPrivacy planting, courtyards, roof decks
From $9,800

How a garden actually gets made.

i.

Site Visit

Two hours on the property. We walk every edge, sample the soil, photograph what stays. You get a one-page handwritten brief within a week.

ii.

Survey & Schemes

Surveyor and arborist on site. We draft three schemes against the brief. You pick one or borrow from each — we'll merge.

iii.

Master Plan

Hardscape and softscape resolved to scale. Detail drawings on every transition. Specs out to bid for the build team.

iv.

Build & Year One

We coordinate the build team. We come back at month 3, 6, and 12 to mark anything that needs adjustment. Year one is included.
