We are committed to ecological integrity and thoughtful stewardship.
Every decision is approached with restraint, respect for living systems, and a philosophy of working with nature rather than against it
- No pesticides or synthetic chemicals
- No inorganic or artificial materials
- No landscape fabric — it disrupts soil health and natural movement
- No disruption to native soil systems; we build soil structure rather than replace it
- No extermination; wildlife is essential to a balanced ecosystem
- No over-fertilization; nourishment is approached with precision and intention
- No unnecessary water use; irrigation strategies prioritize sustainability and efficiency
- No invasive species; plant selections support local ecology and long-term balance
- Composting and organic soil amendments are used whenever possible
- Pollinator-forward plant selections guide seasonal design
- Mulch is natural, minimal, and intentionally placed
- Pruning respects natural growth patterns and long-term plant vitality
- Materials are sourced thoughtfully, prioritizing sustainable vendors and low-impact transport
- Garden waste is minimized and repurposed whenever possible
