From first sketch to first bloom
Six crafts under one roof, so the person who drew your garden is never far from the people who build it.
Garden design
Measured surveys, concept boards and planting plans drawn by a registered garden designer.
Hard landscaping
Natural stone terraces, gravel paths, dry-stone walls and raised beds built to last decades.
Planting & borders
Layered perennial borders, hedging and specimen trees sourced from local nurseries.
Gardens we’ve grown
A few favourites from the last two seasons. Every one started with a muddy walk and a cup of coffee.

Not sure what you want? Let the garden tell you.

Four seasons, one team
A clear, four-stage process — with a fixed design fee and a written build quote before any ground is broken.
Walk the site
We spend an unhurried hour on your plot — soil, light, drainage, views and how you want to use it.
Draw the garden
A concept board, then a scaled plan and planting schedule you can mark up with us in the studio.
Build & plant
Our own crews handle the stonework, irrigation and planting. One project lead, start to finish.
Grow it on
Twelve months of aftercare visits so every plant settles in. Most clients keep us on after that.
Clients who still send us photos
“They turned a sloping, clay-heavy yard into terraces we actually live in. The kids have a meadow, I have my herbs, and nothing drowns in winter any more.”
“Verdant listened more than they talked. The planting plan was beautiful, but the aftercare visits are what made it work.”
“Calm, precise and on budget to the dollar. Our courtyard is now the room we use most from May to October.”
From the potting shed
Planting for clay soil without a fight
Six shrubs and perennials that love heavy ground, and the mulch trick that changes everything.
How to sow a wildflower meadow in autumn
Scalp, scarify, sow and wait. A step-by-step from our Sauvie Island project.
Raised beds: cedar, steel or stone?
Costs, lifespan and looks compared after ten years of building all three.
