Making the Most of Your Garden

     Enrich your garden
     Beautify your neighbourhood
     Enhance your property value
     Give yourself some shade
     And listen to the birds sing!

With a beautiful garden, life in the city can be enjoyed in the midst of nature. Trees cool the air, modulate the light, and attract birds. Introducing curves changes the perspective entirely, creating a sense of movement and playfulness. A winding path, curved planting beds or a strategically located trellis can increase the sense of space and distract from the boxy shape of the property line. Definition of rooms within the garden, creation of privacy with planting, trellises or other structures, the use of textures, colour and shape, and selection of planting according to time of bloom can increase enjoyment of the garden throughout the year. The character of a garden can be changed enormously by simple means. Our aesthetic training in design, art and architecture, as well as our skill in planting, stone and woodwork, can provide real dividends in the value of your property as well as in your daily enjoyment of it.
