Garden Design & Planting

Drawn plans built around your light, soil and how you actually use the yard. Native-leaning palettes that look intentional in every season.

What it is

A closer look.

A design-first service. We study how light moves across your property, test the soil, and draw a planting plan tuned to the climate we actually have in southern Ontario.

  • Site analysis & soil testing
  • Hand-drawn planting plans
  • Native & pollinator borders
  • Container & seasonal colour
