No home is entirely finished until the whole property can be enjoyed. Our design team can continue your home design out into the exterior living space, providing a uniquely integrated design approach. Landscape is also a critical element of environmental homes; we can provide design advice on green roof technology, native plant use, grey water use, and rain water harvesting.

A note on our approach -
Sustainability is the key when it comes to landscape design, especially if you are looking for a low maintenance landscape. We firmly believe in designing landscapes for the climate we live in. Focusing on native and naturalized plant selection, hardiness and adaptability, low water usage, and the elimination of pesticides, we are committed to providing you with a design that will thrive well into the future.
Combining a diploma in Prairie Horticulture - Landscape Design and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Theatre Production and Design (Lighting), our landscape designer is able to combine many different visual elements to create a unique landscape encompassing form, function and personal expression.
Our landscape designer is currently in the process of obtaining status as an Accredited Green Roof Professional (GRP). The Accredited GRP Designation program is currently under development by Green Roofs for Healthy Cities and will be the only recognized, multi-disciplinary designation available in North America.
