Our Garden Design Services
Executive Landscaping manages selection, procurement, installation and establishment support for residential properties.
Location
Successful planting begins with understanding where plants will grow. Our team assesses level of sun, soil composition, property slope, wind exposure and proximity to the water. We'll work with you, and make recommendations on plants and areas where they will thrive on your property.
Garden Bed Layout
Creating the visual and structural perimeter of your garden bed can be as simple or custom of a process as you'd like. Sharp, rectangular shapes can provide a polished aesthetic, while flowing curves create a more organic aesthetic for your garden.
Plantings
We source from reputable nurseries with high lush, high quality specimens. We'll handle the delicate installation arrive with healthy root systems, proper caliper for their height and no signs of pest damage or disease. Container-grown and balled-and-burlapped stock receives inspection before acceptance to verify root quality and trunk condition.
Materials
There are a variety of ground coverings that provide different functions and aesthetics, from stones and pebbles to mulch and sand, we'll guide you through the selection process.
Irrigation and Establishment Care
Depending on the composition of your existing property, additional irrigation may be needed to ensure your plants thrive year after year. We'll design a high-efficiency, weather-intuitive system that will keep your plants vibrant throughout the warmer seasons.
Structural Garden Accents
Stone pathways and stairwells create a connected experience within your outdoor space, while retaining walls can add visual aesthetic while addressing functional elements like drainage, property slope, and defining areas.
Ongoing Care
A beautiful garden is a well-tended garden. We craft gardens to mature and grow more vibrant each season, but maintaining this vibrancy and layout requires regular stewardship, like pruning, mulching, edging, and new plantings.
