One landscape, considered at every scale. We read the place, resolve the detail, then bring it together through documentation, approvals and, where the scope includes it, construction.
Concept
Every project starts with understanding the site and how people will move through it. From that reading we establish a clear landscape direction, then develop the spatial layout and the details that connect the design to its construction.
Design
Planting, hardscape and site materials are brought together as one landscape. We prepare the drawings and details needed to communicate the design, so what is drawn on paper can be built as intended.
Delivery
We coordinate landscape requirements with municipalities, architects, engineers and the wider project team, and support the construction stage where it is included in the project scope.
Plan to ground
Drag across each image to compare the landscape plan with the built project.
The overall plan places paths, planting and play areas between the homes and commercial frontage. At ground level, a low stone edge separates the planted bed from the gravel play space. The drawing describes the wider arrangement; the photograph brings one of its shared spaces into view.
View Crestmont West
The landscape plan sets out garden plots and planting along the rows of homes. The street photograph shows this repeated edge at ground level, with trees, tall grasses and lower planting beside the sidewalk.
View D’Arcy
The plan locates the shared outdoor area among the residential blocks, with paths reaching it from several directions. Beneath the shelter, the photograph shows its relationship to the play equipment, surrounding planting and nearby homes.
View Evanston
The plan carries planting around the commercial buildings and along the site boundary. The photograph shows one of these edges: trees and shrubs between the building and the public sidewalk, with a strip of lawn alongside the route.
