Natural Garden Design
Design, installation, & maintenance services
Transforming Ontario gardens into low-maintenance, naturally beautiful biodiversity hotspots.
Design
We create custom natural garden designs that work with your site conditions to reduce maintenance, increase year-round beauty, and support local biodiversity. Our designs are rooted in ecological principles and tailored to your soil, sun, moisture, and goals.
Installation
After the design is finalized, we handle every step of the installation process from site preparation to sourcing high-quality native plants and planting. With clear communication every step of the way, we ensure your natural garden is installed with precision and care.
Maintenance
Natural gardens are lower maintenance but still need care. To safeguard the long-term success of your investment, we offer regular garden maintenance services. This includes tasks such as weeding, filling in gaps, and spring cut-downs, all performed with an approach that balances aesthetics with ecological value.
Here is what past clients have to say…
Our Approach
Save you money by: Avoiding soil amendments by working with existing soil and moisture conditions; using plants in smaller sized pots because they establish faster and require less initial watering to establish.
Densely planted gardens (1 plant per square foot) bring a host of benefits to your space, including enhanced soil quality, carbon sequestration, weed suppression, improved rainfall absorption and improved beauty.
Strictly use 90% or more native plants for maximum wildlife value
We grow most of our own plants to ensure only the highest quality materials
Experience the perfect blend of artistic design and ecological benefit for a garden that's as visually stunning as it is environmentally conscious.

FAQ’S
-
All gardens require some level of maintenance. Our gardens are designed to reduce maintenance over by planting in dense layers of plants (sometimes known as “matrix gardening”). The first 1-2 years of a gardens establishment always require the most amount of weeding and watering. Once the garden is established, it will no longer require watering, and weeding will be significantly reduced.
-
No — natural gardens are intentionally designed to balance aesthetics with ecology. Through thoughtful plant selection and layout, we create gardens that look full, balanced, and beautiful throughout the seasons while still supporting biodiversity.
-
Design timelines vary depending on project scope and time of year, but most designs take 2-4 weeks from consultation to where we are ready to install. Installation timing depends on size and season and is scheduled to support plant health and long-term success.
-
Typical designs use around 90% native species or more. We prioritize native plants whenever possible and may also include well-adapted, non-invasive or near-native species when they support resilience, function, and design goals. We never use invasive species under any circumstance.
