Your property. One coordinated plan.
A landscape that belongs to your home.
For a South Richvale property, coordinate the driveway and entrance with the house’s proportions before selecting decorative paving. Confirm vehicle turning and pedestrian movement, then carry a restrained material family into the garden. Where a home is being rebuilt, agree exterior levels and utilities with the building team before stonework begins.
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.
Coordinate the pedestrian route, landings, steps and driveway edge around the house’s proportions. Check finished levels before choosing a stone pattern. A restrained material palette can connect new work to older architecture while allowing different spaces to have their own character. For any property with a heritage context, establish the applicable address-specific review before committing to alterations.
- Door thresholds and landing dimensions
- Vehicle and pedestrian routes considered together
- Samples against the existing architecture
- Property-specific review where relevant
Questions for your project
Resolve the important details early.
Should the landscape be designed before the house renovation finishes?
Yes, while thresholds, services and access are still being coordinated. Early decisions can prevent a completed entrance or utility route from limiting the outdoor plan.
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.
