Our Services
Big or small, every project is unique. Let John’s combination of creative design and practical construction/management experience guide you to a space that’s a perfect fit for you and your family.
Landscape Design
Is it time to finally get the yard that you’ve been dreaming of, but you don’t know where to begin? John can guide you through the process from concept to planting plans to construction ready working drawings. Ongoing consultation will ensure that you end up with a space that ticks all the boxes, and one that is uniquely yours.
Construction Project Management
A landscape project often has many moving parts. John can help navigate the process with you by overseeing the project and ensuring workflow, structural as well as design integrity, and foreseeing potential issues before they arise.
Consultation
Sometimes a customer wants to tackle smaller projects by themselves, and is just looking for ideas or advice. I’m available to give you the benefit of John’s experience for a flat or hourly fee.
Experience Matters
Not all projects are alike. Whether it’s a brainstorming session, detailed drawings, or construction management, John will tailor our services to suit your needs.

The Process
From an hour of Q&A with a seasoned pro, to detailed drawings to on site management, John will tailor services to suit your needs.
1 – initial consult
We start with a questionnaire to learn some more about your vision for your space, followed by a short conversation by phone or email. If you like what you hear, John will come see your space in person, and spend an hour applying his technical knowledge with your vision.
2 – concept drawing
Armed with a thorough understanding of your vision as well the characteristics of your site, John will produce a plan that ticks all the boxes, and illustrates the features and layout of your new outdoor paradise.
3 – working drawing
From the concept stage, we proceed in greater detail, including dimensions, material specifications and the like to make your project construction ready.
4 – planting plan
The icing on the cake. Tailored to your personal vision, John will supply you with a plan and list of plants to complete your paradise and make your space the envy of the neighbourhood.
You can get started with an INITIAL CONSULT for only $99. Schedule a call today to bring your landscape dreams to life!
