into the wild
Garden with various green plants, purple flowers, and ornamental grasses near a black wooden fence.

Nestled in a tranquil neighborhood, our clients’ modernist home boasts a sleek design with striking angles, a cool black exterior, and an overall quiet elegance.

They love plants and nature but do not have the time to garden. To create a cohesive look, we stained the fence black and created clean, angular edging for the garden beds. This ties the garden to the home's architecture and creates a striking contrast for the exuberant foliage.

You can see from the two sets of pictures how happy the plants are in their new home after only one year!

Client Review

“Our experience working with Zoe was seamless. We met on site to discuss our backyard landscape improvement goals and budget, and she quickly responded with her proposal and design direction. Zoe met with and guided the contractor, ordered and delivered the plantings, and performed site observations during construction and planting. She maintained an open line of communication and kept us involved in the decision-making process. Zoe is a talented and knowledgeable landscape designer and is passionate about her profession. We put our full trust in Zoe’s design direction and could not have been happier with the results.” - C.A.
