You’re wondering if you’ll ever be able to have the landscape you really want.

 

Hi, I’m Kathryn…

I help homeowners bring their landscaping dreams to life so they can spend time enjoying it.

You’ve probably created a Pinterest board and stocked up on pretty plants from your local nursery…

But it didn’t work because the plants wound up looking nothing like your dream, instead they were sad and dying.

You’ve occasionally cleaned up your landscaping…

Adding a few plants here, a few plants there…

Tossing in a new decoration or furniture piece every once in a while…

Throwing down a little fertilizer to try and keep your plants alive.

What went wrong?

 
 
 

👉 You need a design plan that not only matches your aesthetic, but also matches your space needs and your climate.

👉 You need healthy soil with the proper nutrients, care, and preparation for each plant.

👉 You need to create a design that fills your outdoor space correctly, not too close together, not too far apart. You need a multi-dimensional design, instead of flat one-dimensional plan that leaves you feeling meh.

👉 You need to know how to care and nurture each plant. You need to know how to keep them not only alive, but set up to thrive and flourish.

I know how overwhelming it can be.

I’ve been there before… ignoring the plain, cookie cutter builder landscape that was my yard. Ignoring the weeds and dying plants. Pretending that I didn’t need a beautiful yard to experience happiness and enjoyment of my home.

I have always loved enjoying beauty and creativity, but I especially love the beauty that nature creates.

For most of my adult life I didn’t have the time, the energy, or the budget to create the beautiful outdoor spaces I craved.

At times, I was a single mom of small children, and then as they grew, they needed a mom to support their needs and dreams. My time and ability to focus was limited. I spent most of my time working, maintaining the household chores, caring for my family, and supporting my husband’s demanding career.

After my children were grown, I finally arrived at a place where I could stop dreaming about my love of creating meaningful and beautiful things, but I could do something about it.

I am here to help those that were where I was for so many years—unable to do anything about creating a beautiful, meaningful space around their homes.

A space where they can find comfort, relaxation, and peace.

A space to create joyful memories.

A little piece of heaven on your part of the Earth.

I’ve been creating dreamy outdoor spaces for myself, friends, and family for over 25 years.

I have a keen eye for design. I’ve spent most of my life designing beautiful spaces for myself and for others—inside and outside.

While I studied under some of the most prestigious experts I quickly came to realize that many of the design principles taught I understood innately.

I am dogged in personality to research, learn, develop, and explore options.

Let me do the work for you, so you don’t have to wait one more day.

You can find lots of landscape companies who will do the bare minimum to maintain your yard.

However…. they rarely know anything about the care of plants and do little to nothing to keep weeds at bay or treat your plants with what they need to thrive. This is because they really only know how to mow and edge.

Then, you have companies that know a bit more about plants, but mostly want to do high volume cookie-cutter installations and then you never see them again, and they don’t support what they’ve installed to begin with. 

My approach is to get to know you and discover if you have a vision for your outdoor spaces, and then take your ideas and meld them with my knowledge and eye for design to create a one of a kind design for you. 

There are multiple ways I can help you:

  1. I can simply stop at creating the design for you and let you run with it yourself. 

  2. I can bring a team of experts together to implement your personalized plan, and then share with you a care calendar that will assist you with maintaining your plan moving forward. 

  3. I can create, and implement and then help you to preserve your personalized plan by bringing in my expertise and the expertise of a horticulturist and/or arborist. 

This 3-phased approach is designed to meet the needs of just about anyone wanting to create the beauty around them that they only dream about each time they drive up to their house after a very long day of work.

Fun facts:

👉 I’m the youngest of three girls, but the oldest of twin brother/sister. I grew up as “the twins.” So always a strong connection as being one of two, not necessarily a unique “one.”

👉I’m a morning person turned night owl because of my husband being a night owl, but I often fall asleep watching late night TV with him.

👉I speak multiple languages— words of affirmation, acts of service, quality time, physical touch. Oh wait, those aren’t real languages? My best language is talking with my hands…just a lot of gesturing and flailing.

👉I love to create but I hate to create food. Left to myself I’d probably exist on bowls of Cheerios. I actually did that once when my husband was away for months. And bonus…I lost weight!

👉Your secrets are safe with me…I won’t remember them by the next day.

Create your dream outdoor space today.
