Landscape Design Services

for Napa & Bay Area Homeowners

A garden designed around the way you live.

Whether you're reimagining your entire property or one key area, I design landscapes where every space, path, and planting relates to the next and to the unique setting of your home.

My design approach is ‘structure-first’, so the garden holds together through every season and can be built all at once or in phases.

Step 1: Discovery Call & On-Site Consultation

We start with a free 15 minute phone conversation about your goals and your property. If it's a good fit, we'll meet on site to walk the property together and explore the possibilities, from how you'd like to use your garden to what your site can become.

You'll come away with:

  • Ideas, opportunities, and possible project scope

  • Next steps, including a landscape design proposal if desired

Step 2: The Design Process

Design begins with a scaled base plan of your property. From there, I explore ideas that complement your goals, your site, and your home, then refine them into a final plan. We'll meet at the end of each phase, so your feedback shapes the design as it develops.

You'll receive:

  • A concept plan, developed from a scaled base plan and site analysis, with a preliminary installation cost estimate

  • A final landscape plan with materials, planting, and lighting, plus an updated cost estimate ready for installation bids

Step 3: Installation

When it's time to build, your final plan goes out for bids - either to my trusted installers or yours. I can stay involved through installation to make sure your garden is built as designed, as much or as little as you'd like.

Options include:

  • Site visits to check progress, answer contractor questions, and handle changes

  • Plant ordering and on-site layout, so every plant goes exactly where it was intended

  • That's very common. Many projects focus on a single area or two. I'll consider how that area relates to your home and the rest of the property, so it feels like it belongs.

  • Every project is different, so design fees depend on the size and complexity of your property. After we meet on site, you'll receive a detailed proposal.

  • I only handle installation for small projects like raised beds at this time. However, I have trusted contractors I recommend. I can also stay involved during installation to oversee the process if desired.

  • Yes. When designing an entire property, your plan (called a master plan) is designed as a whole, so each phase fits the larger design whether you build it in one season or over several years.
