Color. Texture. Timing.
We don’t chase trends or plug in plants for short-term impact. We study sun patterns, soil composition, and architectural context to select species that thrive, not just survive. Even a small planting update can reset the feel of a space. A burst of new texture can soften aging lines. A color shift can introduce energy or calm. And when timed correctly, seasonal updates can carry your garden effortlessly through transitions, keeping it vibrant without starting from scratch.
New and seasonal plantings may include:
Perennials that anchor beds with year-round structure
Annuals for color refreshes and event-driven moments
Shrubs and grasses to soften transitions and add movement
Roses, vines, and climbers for vertical charm
Layered compositions that shift naturally with the seasonss
Our plantings work in dialogue with the whole site, connecting hardscape to softscape, creating visual rhythm, and supporting the long-term health and experience of your landscape.
