How much does it cost?
The cost of each project is as unique as the project itself, reflecting its scope, complexity, and the bespoke requirements you bring to us. We are dedicated to providing tailored services that align with your specific budget and vision. For a detailed and personalized quote, we encourage you to reach out to us to discuss your ideas in depth.
How does a project work?
We start with a personal consultation, where we dive into your vision, tastes, and goals for the project. Following this, our team crafts a detailed plan and proposal customized for you. Approval of the proposal marks the beginning of the creation phase, with our team ensuring you are engaged and updated at each milestone. Our approach is designed to offer a smooth and enriching experience from the first sketch to the final flourish.
How long does it take?
Project timelines are influenced by a variety of factors such as project scale, intricacy, and requirements. Some projects may come to life within a few weeks, while others, may span several months. We are committed to setting and adhering to realistic timelines, ensuring you are kept in the loop throughout the process, and delivering superior quality.
Project longevity : What to expect?
The endurance of our projects is subject to environmental conditions, care routines, and the materials selected. Generally, our creations are conceived to beautify and thrive through at least a horticultural season, with longevity varying by location and climatic challenges. We carefully choose plants that align with both the project’s aesthetic vision and practical requirements, ensuring each piece’s beauty and durability are optimized. Our projects come to life with the expertise of on-site horticulturists.
Is it all made-to-order, or do you have ready-to-go pieces?
Our passion lies in forging customized, visionary pieces that fully capture and bring to life your unique aspirations. Alongside our bespoke services, we offer a collection of pre-conceived, ready-to-install pieces for those in search of immediate elegance and functionality. These pieces are designed and constructed with the same level of care, excellence, and creativity that characterize our custom projects, offering a spectrum of choices for diverse needs and spaces.
