Coordinated outdoor spaces
The best outdoor spaces feel unified rather than assembled—where patios meet planting beds with natural transitions, where walkways lead logically through gardens, where hardscape and softscape complement rather than compete. This integration doesn't happen by accident. It requires planning the relationship between built elements and living elements from the start, not treating landscaping as an afterthought tacked on after construction.
We coordinate hardscape construction with landscape design so both work together. This means installing patios and walkways before plantings (protecting plants from construction damage), integrating irrigation lines and drainage during hardscape work, and planning edge treatments that create seamless transitions. Border beds soften retaining walls, groundcovers fill joints in stepping stones, and structural plantings frame outdoor rooms—all considered during design, not improvised later.
Your completed project feels like a cohesive outdoor environment rather than a collection of separate elements. Whether you're adding a deck that needs surrounding plantings, a patio that connects to garden beds, or a complete backyard transformation, we handle the full integration—bringing together the built and the grown into spaces that feel natural and work beautifully.
