What we do
One crew from first sketch to every season after.
We design it, build it and come back to look after it. No hand offs and no strangers, just one team that knows your soil, your light and your plans.
01 Garden design
We measure the site, ask how you want to use it, then draw a scaled plan with planting, paths, levels and lighting. You see the finished garden in 3D before we dig.

Keep it growing
Seasonal visits from the people who planted it, so it looks better every year.
Reviews
Kind words from the neighbourhood.
“They turned a sloping, muddy yard into the place we spend every evening. Two years on, the same crew still comes by each month and it looks better every time.”
-
“The 3D plan sold it for us. What they built matched it almost exactly, and the crew left the site cleaner than they found it.”

“Honest about cost from the first visit. They talked us out of a pond we did not need and into a patio we use every day.”

“Our hedges and borders have never looked this sharp. Friendly, reliable and always there on the day they say.”

Questions
Good to know before we start.
Still wondering about something? Call and talk it through with a designer.
555-0118Is the first visit really free?
Yes. A designer spends about an hour walking the yard with you, talks through ideas and gives you a rough budget range. There is no charge and no pressure to book.
How much does a new garden cost?
Most of our full garden projects land between $15,000 and $60,000, depending on size, stone and planting. Smaller planting or lawn jobs start around $1,200. You get a fixed written quote before any work starts.
How long does a project take?
Design takes two to four weeks. Most builds take three to eight weeks on site, and we plan around your schedule and the weather.
Do you take on small jobs?
Of course. We plant single borders, fix tired lawns and cut hedges too. Plenty of our care clients started with one small job.
Will you look after a garden you did not build?
Yes. Our care crew starts with a tidy up visit, then suggests a plan that suits the garden and your budget.
Which areas do you cover?
The whole city and the towns about 30 minutes out, including the north ridge, the west end, the river flats and the east side.
