Horticulture and Turf

Our mission is to have you explore and enjoy your landscape, gardens and spaces that are available. We encourage our clients to tend to the gardens as much as possible. The benefits of working outdoors, amongst plants and nature, has been proven to reduce stress and to improve well-being. But like many of us, you may just not have the time!

From conception, our designers have thought out how plantings will evolve over time and create a desired effect. This knowledge is passed on to our horticulture crew, and the maintenance is then carried out accordingly. Maybe a specimen Willow needs to be thinned to reveal its twisting or contorted trunk; or a hedge of Viburnum pruned to maintain a healthy, dense border.

We can take the worries and guess-work out of caring for your newly installed landscape. We strive to keep experienced and knowledgeable horticulturalists on staff to answer any questions you may have, and of course, to tend to the gardens.
