Services

Every discipline, one standard.

Carried out by our own people, whether as a single piece of work or as part of a complete commission.

A formal boxwood knot garden with a clipped spiral topiary at its centre and teak benches set into the hedge bays.

01

Landscape Design

Plans drawn from the site itself: its grade, its water, its light.

Drip irrigation tubing pinned out across a planting bed over woven weed fabric, before mulch.

02

Irrigation

Zoned to each planting, with drip where drip belongs.

A dry creek bed of dark river rock between boulder banks, carrying runoff across a planted front garden.

03

Drainage

Dry creek beds, channel drains and subsurface lines, laid to true fall.

A hillside terraced with dry-laid cobble retaining walls, each bench planted with low shrubs above a timber deck.

04

Retaining Walls

Founded below grade and drained along their full length.

A deck at night lit by warm downlights recessed into the rail posts, each pot of orchids picked out against the dark.

05

Landscape Lighting

Considered light, with every fixture kept out of sight.

A crew member edging and clearing a planted sidewalk strip by hand, broom to hand and clippings gathered.

06

Property Cleanups

A property that has fallen behind, restored to order.

A mid-century front garden rebuilt in large-format pavers with pebble joints, drought-tolerant planting and bronze path lights.

07

Full-Property Transformations

Front to back as one commission, sequenced so nothing is built twice.

Beneath the surface

What you will never see is what makes it last.

Base, compaction, drain rock and conduit: invisible on completion, and the reason the work is still right a decade later.

Section through a completed Rosewood landscape A cut drawing showing, left to right, a retaining wall with drain rock and a perforated drain line, planting in amended topsoil on drip irrigation, a catch basin running to a daylight outlet, a paver terrace over bedding sand and compacted base rock, and a light fixture on sleeved cable — all read against the finish grade line. FINISH GRADE 01 02 03 04 05 TOPSOIL BASE ROCK SUBGRADE — COMPACTED
  1. 01 Retaining wall — battered, drained behind, geogrid-tied back into the slope.
  2. 02 Planting in amended topsoil, on its own drip zone rather than sharing the lawn’s.
  3. 03 Catch basin and solid line, fall held the whole way to a daylight outlet.
  4. 04 Pavers on bedding sand over compacted base — depth set by what crosses it.
  5. 05 Lighting on sleeved cable, run before the paving goes down, not chased in after.
