Structure and Planting, Working Together

Every successful landscape is composed of two interdependent elements: hardscape and garden.

Hardscape defines space. It includes patios, terraces, retaining walls, stairs, pathways, and other built elements that shape circulation and create usable outdoor rooms — especially important on sloped sites common in both Southern Oregon and the San Francisco Bay Area. Materials are selected for durability, appropriateness, and aesthetic harmony.

Garden spaces bring those structures to life. Planting plans are developed in response to your preferences and the site’s microclimate, sun exposure, soil conditions, and long-term maintenance goals. Whether ornamental, edible, or a combination of both, planting is designed to enhance each space visually and ecologically.

Both hardscape and planting designs are presented in 2D and 3D formats, allowing changes to be made thoughtfully before installation begins.
