Design

   Holistic means all parts considered. All elements are carefully assessed and harmonized into a cohesive ecology. This is essential in achieving Low Maintenance, Functional, Ecological, and Compelling Landscape Designs.

  It starts with us listening to you. Then we "listen" to the place we're working with. Of course we'll have some questions, some you might not have thought of. That's okay! We're here to guide and assist in the formation of a vision. Once we've come up with a vision or "concept" that you're thrilled about, you then leave it to us to paint that vision as a crystal clear Design Plan which may include; 

- Landscape Design Plan drawn to scale

- Perspective and Elevation Renderings

- Plant Lists

- Construction Notes

- Maintenance Recommendations 

   Our work isn't confined to backyard gardens. We also offer Holistic Design, Consultation and Management of your Acreage, Homestead, Small Farm Projects. We are educated in and well practiced in the principles of Permaculture and Regenerative Agriculture. When whole systems are designed in cooperation with one another and with nature, we maximize the livelihood of ourselves as well as all other occupants of the land we share. From the Pollinators, Birds, Bats and Beavers right down to the Soil Life beneath our feet and Salmon coming up our streams, we aim to implement designs and practices that will benefit all. We may help with;

- Rainwater Management

- Food Production

- Composting

- Soil Building/Remediation

- Habitat Restoration ...and much more.

   Let us bring your project to life with a level of artistry, professionalism, and dedication that you might never have seen before. Our work reflects over 10 years of dynamic expertise in landscape construction and management, including projects in Vancouver, Battle Ground, Camas, Ridgefield, Woodland and Kalama, WA.

We have "that special touch". With us, it's not about just coming in to put some plants in the ground, pile up some rocks, and spread bark around. It's a work of Art and Science, from the Layout down to the Details. No matter the scope of project you hire us for, you won't be compromising in your tastes or values. We use sustainable best practices and local resources to deliver quality results on time and within budget, that you will be able to enjoy for decades. We install;

    Landscapes are ever changing and evolving. They elegantly and sometimes chaotically transition through seasons, life cycles, and the slow succession of one ecosystem moving into another. Even landscapes designed to be low maintenance will benefit from informed care at the right times of the year.

In addition to regenerative maintenance recommendations that we provide with our designs, we offer seasonal maintenance services to keep your outdoors as functional and enjoyable for you as it is for the wildlife. Our services are not the typical once a week "mow and blow, shear everything into dense mounds". We consider every plants lifecycle and growth habit to come up with a custom plan that typically includes 2-4 visits a year. You will see prolonged vitality in your landscape, not to mention reduced costs and eliminated impacts of noise, petroleum, and herbicide pollution. We offer;

- Seasonal or Intermittent Maintenance

 - Fine Pruning

 - Organic Fertilization

 - Mulching

 - Cleanup

 - Pond Cleaning

 - Winterizing
