Let's Rethink Your Landscape

Reconnect with the beauty of nature

A well-designed landscape should feel intentional — not like something you’re constantly managing, correcting, or apologizing for.

Many homeowners want an outdoor space that looks good, functions well, and reflects their values, yet feel stuck choosing between beauty, sustainability, and practicality. It doesn’t have to be that way.

With the right design approach, your landscape can work with your site, support local ecosystems, and still feel welcoming and personal — a space you genuinely enjoy living in, season after season.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Is this you?

If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone — and your landscape can do better.

    • Endless watering and fertilizing feel like chores.
    • You’re tired of seeing the same landscaping house after house.
    • You enjoy sharing your space with butterflies, birds, and other wildlife.
    • You have a problem site where nothing seems to thrive.
    • You want a place where family and friends can reconnect — with each other and nature.
    • You care about the environment and the effect your landscape has on it.
    • You value a thoughtful, personalized experience — and supporting a small local business.

ABOUT PLAN(T) WISE

Why work with me

Every landscape starts with listening — to you, and to the site itself. The goal is a landscape that fits your life and your values, not a generic template.

I design complete outdoor spaces that balance beauty, function, and long-term sustainability.

That means thinking beyond individual plants to consider layout, flow, views, materials, and how the space feels as you move through it — creating a landscape that improves the site without fighting it.

Plant choices are intentional, layouts are site-responsive, and the result is a beautiful landscape that supports local ecosystems and feels welcoming and deeply personal.

You spend less time maintaining, more time enjoying, and start to see your yard as part of a larger living system.

A consultation brings clarity to what’s possible and how to move forward.

I believe landscapes can be beautiful and do meaningful work—supporting wildlife, strengthening ecosystems, and helping people feel more connected to the places they live.
