GREEN CANVAS DESIGN
From Canvas to Garden- A collaborative, unique, creative design process
A Living reflection of you- your garden.
Green Canvas was born from knowledge, experience and creativity.
Our gardens are a part of our homes, and we want to help you make your outdoor spaces come to life!
We have created a design process that incorporates our clients' stories, aesthetics and vision.
Your garden, your story-
“A garden must combine the poetic and the mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy”- Luis Barragan
THE DESIGN PROCESS
1. GARDEN WALK-THROUGH
We start the garden design process by walking through your garden space with you. We take notes on what your initial vision is, what kind of plants you are drawn to, and any ideas of what you want for your home and garden.
2. QUOTE, TIMELINE AND IDEA BOARD
As we get a clearer idea of what you want your future garden to look like, we will provide you with a quote, a timeline for the project and an idea board with visuals of plants and ideas.
3. PLANNING AND BRAINSTORMING
When the budget, timeline and general direction of the design have been agreed upon, we will spend some time brainstorming and planning together.
4. GETTING YOUR GARDEN READY FOR TRANSFORMATION
We take the time to prepare your garden for its' transformation. That means removing plants, trimming others, and getting the area ready for new plants, ground cover and more.
During this time, we share sketches of what the final look will be and make sure the choice of plants, positioning of plants and any other details that are part of the design project.
5. IMPLEMENTATION AND FOLLOW-UP
This is when the magic happens! We put all of the plants, structures, hardscape components and art pieces together, and make sure everything is set up for success!
At Green Canvas Design, we NEVER over plant. Plants take time to grow, and saturating an area with plants for it to look good from the start is not natural nor sustainable. We plan for the plants to grow into their full sizes, and let nature do its’ thing.
We provide you with a plant list and specific maintenance tips and come visit your new, growing garden in the following few months.
We believe that your garden will bloom if your vision, taste and uniqueness are woven into the design process.
We bring ideas, expertise, creativity and talent to the drawing board, while you sprinkle your unique story and background into the mix.
