A rewarding transformation

We started by clearing and levelling the site, then built these stunning raised beds that double as comfortable bench tops—perfect for both gardening and relaxing. The client had a few trees removed to let the sun pour in, and we made sure nothing went to waste: we filled the beds with limbs, mulch from the felled trees, and a rich mix of triple mix and compost- creating a layered soil foundation full of life.

The final touch? A gorgeous blend of food and flowers, planted together for beauty and bounty. We can’t wait to see how this lush, layered garden grows—it's going to be a showstopper.

This project was a total joy to bring to life!

This shady front yard got a fresh new vibe and a delicious twist!

Our client wanted to breathe new life into their low-light space, and we delivered with a lush mix of low-maintenance, shade-loving perennials. We fed the soil, and wove in a few edible touches too—keep an eye out for strawberries and chives popping up!

Existing hostas were divided and replanted throughout the garden to create a more unified, flowing design. The result? A cohesive, textural landscape that looks fantastic now—and will only get better as it fills in over time.

This garden is all about beauty, ease, and a little surprise harvest along the way!

A fresh new feel for a shady front entrance + a playful, productive backyard!


Our client wanted a softer, more balanced look around their front entrance—something less formal and more inviting. Since the area doesn’t get much sun, we leaned into the beauty of shade-lovers, layering in lush textures and grounding it all with a focal planting in the centre of the bed.

In the backyard, we traded a rigid row of trees for natural groupings, giving the space a more organic, relaxed vibe. To add softness and seasonal charm, we planted Bleeding Hearts, Solomon’s Seal, Hostas, and even tucked in a few strawberries in a sunny area for the kids to discover.

The built-in planters got a joyful boost with cheerful color, fresh herbs, and climbing peas- bringing fragrance, flavour, and a sense of fun to the garden. We can’t wait to watch this one fill in... and we’re pretty sure the kids are going to love picking their very own snacks straight from the soil!
