The Design Process

1 - Site Visit
Understanding the site →
Every project begins in person.
We walk the property and talk through how you want to live outdoors while assessing the conditions that will shape the design:
orientation, sun exposure, and wind patterns
soil structure and drainage
existing trees, views, and privacy
access, circulation, and maintenance realities
This visit establishes the scope of work and confirms that the approach suits both the site and the client. No templates—only site-specific direction for Gorge conditions.

2 - Design
Clear plans, practical decisions →
The design phase translates conversation into a working landscape strategy:
scaled drawings and layout plans
native and climate-adapted plant palettes
material studies and precedent images
phasing options and realistic budgets
We coordinate with trusted regional landscape contractors to develop accurate construction estimates so the design remains grounded in achievable costs and timelines.

3 - Install
From drawing to site →
During construction we remain actively involved to ensure the intent holds as the garden is built:
layout verification and grading review
sourcing plants from local growers
on-site decisions as conditions evolve
coordination between client and contractor
A landscape is not assembled—it is adjusted in real time. Our role is to guide those adjustments with a steady hand.
After
Completion
Gardens change with seasons and use.
We return as needed to review establishment, refine maintenance practices, and help the landscape mature as intended.
