Your property. One coordinated plan.
A landscape that belongs to your home.
For a Hills of St. Andrew property, compare outdoor-room positions against the actual landform and house levels. Where the garden slopes, smaller connected terraces may be more useful than one large platform. Coordinate walls, steps and drainage before choosing the visible stone, and preserve a comfortable everyday route between the house and seating.
Landscape architecture
Coordinate the arrival, garden rooms and circulation through landscape design. Explore a complete vision for estate living.
Pools & outdoor living
Connect an in-ground pool with its terrace and a cabana or pavilion, with access and support spaces planned together.
Driveways & stonework
Bring estate driveways, steps, terraces and retaining walls into a coordinated material and grading plan.
Before construction
Resolve the levels before specifying the stone.
Measure the relationship between doors, terraces, pool coping and the proposed garden routes. Compare alternative layouts before committing to one large retaining structure. A wall’s design depends on what it supports as well as its visible height. Identify drainage, excavation access and any professional investigation needed before treating a concept as a priced construction solution.
- House thresholds and proposed finished elevations
- Loads above or beside retaining structures
- Drainage routes and construction access
- Site-specific review before excavation commitments
Questions for your project
Resolve the important details early.
How do we decide between steps and a more gradual route?
Consider how the household will use the garden, the available space and the change in level. Resolve accessible and practical circulation in the design rather than making stairs the only connection by default.
What should we provide for a meaningful project discussion?
Share your address, photographs of the garden and construction access, a survey if available, the features you want to retain and your priorities. An intended budget range and timing help define the scope. Ask proposals to distinguish preparation, construction, finishes, allowances and restoration.
Feasibility and any required reviews depend on the address and proposed work. Confirm the applicable municipal and site requirements before treating a concept as an approved construction plan.
