The scree garden, under the shade of tall pine trees, but catching sun in the summer months. Carpets of foliage, with different colours and textures creating a tapestry that last through the seasons, before being submerged under metres of snow in the harsh winter.

A beautiful cottage garden, profuse with vibrant blooms.

Our homeowners were looking for a garden where they could sit by the fire, grow vegetable and hear the sound of water. Their home was new construction in a modern farmhouse style. We used gravel and concrete as paving. Board formed concrete firepit keeps it feeling modern. The vegetable beds supply season vegetables and herbs.

Two 5' tall fences, spaced 5' apart will deter deer without looking like Fort Knox. Hardware cloth and graduated hog fence panels keeps burrowing rodents and rabbits at bay. See web site for details and plans
