Many custom cottages suffer from landscapes that feel disconnected from the architecture, ignore natural site features, or fail to maximize property potential. Poor landscape planning can diminish curb appeal, waste natural assets like mature trees or water features, and create maintenance headaches that detract from your cottages’s overall beauty and value.
We approach landscape design as an extension of your cottage’s architecture, carefully considering existing natural features, topography, and views while creating outdoor spaces that enhance both functionality and beauty. Our integrated design process ensures your landscape complements your custom cottage while celebrating your property’s unique characteristics.
We design landscapes that complement your cottage’s architectural style, materials, and proportions while creating visual flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Our approach considers sight lines, outdoor living areas, and transitions that enhance your cottage’s overall design aesthetic.
We work with your property’s existing natural assets including mature trees, rock formations, water features, and topography, to create landscapes that feel organic and established. Our designs preserve valuable natural elements while enhancing their beauty and functionality.
We create outdoor living areas, entertainment spaces, and gardens that extend your custom cottage’s functionality into the landscape. Our designs consider privacy, views, seasonal interest, and maintenance requirements to ensure long-term satisfaction and usability.
We select plants and design features that provide year-round interest appropriate for the local climate and growing conditions. Our plant selections consider mature sizes, maintenance requirements, and seasonal changes to create landscapes that improve with time.
