Cottage Garden Style
Abundant, informal plantings with self-seeding annuals, classic perennials, and fragrant herbs. This approach creates a lush, romantic feel with soft edges and generous blooms.
Flower Bed Design
Create garden beds with enduring beauty and seasonal delight
Designing with Plants
A well-designed flower bed is a composition—a thoughtful arrangement of color, texture, and form that evolves through the seasons. We approach each bed as a canvas, considering the interplay of heights, bloom times, and foliage interest.
Our designs honor both the site's natural conditions and your aesthetic preferences, resulting in plantings that feel both intentional and effortless.
Layered Plantings
We design in layers—tall background plants, mid-height perennials, and ground-covering fillers. This structure creates depth and ensures the bed looks full from every angle.
By combining different plant heights and growth habits, we create compositions that feel lush and intentional throughout the growing season.
Seasonal Succession
We plan for continuous interest by selecting plants with staggered bloom times. Early spring bulbs transition to summer perennials, followed by late-season grasses and autumn flowers.
This approach ensures your garden bed offers something beautiful in every season, rather than a single peak moment.
Textural Variety
Foliage is just as important as flowers in creating engaging compositions. We incorporate plants with varied leaf shapes, sizes, and colors to add visual interest even when blooms are absent.
Bold architectural leaves contrast with fine, feathery textures, while silver, burgundy, and chartreuse foliage accents the greens.
Design Approaches
Contemporary Design
Clean lines and architectural plants define this approach. We use restrained color palettes, bold foliage, and repetition to create sophisticated, low-maintenance compositions.
Naturalistic Plantings
Inspired by natural landscapes, these designs feature native perennials and ornamental grasses in sweeping drifts. The result is movement, seasonal change, and habitat value.
Our Design Process
We begin by understanding your site—sun exposure, soil conditions, existing features, and how the space relates to your home. This informs plant selection and placement strategies.
Next, we develop a planting plan with detailed specifications, including mature sizes, spacing, and care requirements. We also provide seasonal guidance so you know what to expect as your garden evolves.
Throughout the process, we balance your aesthetic preferences with practical considerations like maintenance level, budget, and long-term sustainability.
