A landscape architecture service
Our expertise in landscaping and ornamental horticulture lets us plan the outdoor work from the initial excavation. This foresight makes the most of the resources available on the lot and reduces costs. The service can be hired on its own or included in a complete construction project.
Outdoor landscaping
Landscaping means planning and organizing natural elements — plants, trees, water features — and built ones — paths, patios, retaining walls. The goal is an outdoor space that is both beautiful and functional, and that respects the site's characteristics rather than working against them.
Permaculture, once the house is in place
Permaculture treats the home and its lot as a single whole. Once the house is built, the aim is to rebuild around it an environment that stands on its own: plantings suited to the soil and exposure, grades that manage water naturally, vegetation that grows thicker year after year instead of wearing out. In practical terms, that means less maintenance, less watering and a property that gains value as it matures.
Making the most of your lot
Large trees are turned into boards or firewood.
Branches and small trees are chipped into mulch for the plantings.
Stumps serve as retaining backfill and as fertilizer beneath future plantings.
The vegetation cover is composted during the work to enrich future plantings.
Brown soil, sand and rock are separated to form terraces and low walls, essential in mountainous areas.
Fewer quarry materials means much lower fill and landscaping costs.
