Garden Design

A considered garden plan starts with your site, priorities, and maintenance preferences. Design can account for sun and shade, soil, drainage, existing plants, and how you want to use the space. The result is a practical direction for planting and layout, with water-conscious choices suited to Washington, DC’s changing seasons.

Native Plant Planning

Plant choices shape how a garden looks and how much care it needs. A planting plan can prioritize native and regionally appropriate species, matched to the light, soil, and moisture conditions in your yard. It can also consider seasonal interest, mature size, and how plants work together across beds and borders.

Rain Garden Design

A rain garden can give runoff a designated place to collect and soak into the ground. Design considerations include the source and direction of water, site slope, soil, and suitable plants. A site-specific plan helps determine whether this approach fits your property and how the garden can complement the surrounding landscape.

Water-Wise Planting

Water-wise planting begins with understanding where water is needed and where the site stays naturally moist or dry. A planting layout can group plants with similar needs and account for sun exposure, soil, and seasonal rainfall. This makes care more straightforward while keeping the garden visually cohesive through the growing season.

Landscape Consultations

A consultation gives you a focused way to assess your garden and decide what to tackle next. Discuss drainage concerns, planting choices, water use, or layout questions with a designer. Recommendations can reflect your goals and the conditions on site, giving you a useful starting point for future garden work.

Garden Refresh Plans

A refresh plan can help an established garden work better without starting from scratch. Review what is thriving, what needs too much attention, and where water runs or collects. Then shape a practical update to planting and bed layout that fits the property, supports water-conscious care, and keeps valued features in place.
