Services
Cohesive beautiful landscapes begin with thoughtful design. Satori Landscape Design offers a complete landscape design and construction process, from the initial consultation and study of the site through installation and the ongoing stewardship of the finished landscape. Each project is approached individually, with careful attention to the character of the property, the needs of the client, and the long-term life of the garden.
Consultation & Site Analysis
Every project begins with a conversation and an initial walk-through of the landscape. During a complimentary consultation, we’ll explore your project area, discuss your goals and ideas, and consider the possibilities for your space.
If you choose to move forward with design, a more thorough site analysis will follow, examining factors such as existing vegetation, topography, drainage, sunlight, soil, views, circulation, and architecture. This understanding of the site provides the foundation for a thoughtful design that responds to both the character of the land and your vision.
Design Services
With a thorough understanding of the site and your vision, Satori begins developing a design that gives form to the possibilities of your landscape. Through an initial schematic design, we explore the overall composition and organization of spaces, circulation, planting areas, hardscape, and garden elements, considering how each contributes to a cohesive whole.
As the design develops, Satori refines these ideas through design development, planting plans, and construction documents as needed. Each stage builds upon the last, bringing greater clarity and detail to the design while ensuring that its aesthetic vision and practical considerations work in harmony.
Design is a collaborative process. Your feedback is an important part of this journey, and revisions help shape the design into something both thoughtfully considered and uniquely suited to you and your space.
Installation
The fun part! With the design established, we bring the landscape into reality through careful installation and project management. Construction is approached with the same attention to composition, materials, craftsmanship, and detail that guides the design process.
From planting and natural stone to pathways, walls, water features, drainage, and other landscape elements, each component is considered as part of the larger composition. When specialized work is needed, Satori coordinates with trusted contractors and craftspeople to ensure the work is carried out to the standards of the design.
Stewardship
A well-designed landscape does not end when construction is complete. Gardens are living environments that change, mature, and develop over time.
Satori Landscape Design offers ongoing stewardship to help ensure that the landscape continues to grow into its intended character. This may include guidance on planting care, pruning, seasonal adjustments, replacement or addition of plants, and other ongoing considerations as the garden matures.
The goal is not simply to maintain what was built, but to help the landscape develop gracefully over time while preserving the quality, balance, and character of the original design.
