Hardscape without planting reads as a parking lot with furniture on it. The planting plan is drawn at the same scale as the base plan, with specimen sizes called out, so what arrives on the truck is what you approved rather than whatever the nursery had that week.
01
How we build it
- PLAN SCALE
- 1/8″ = 1′-0″ Same scale as the base plan, so the two read together.
- SPECIMENS
- Caliper and container called out Per plant, on the drawing.
- BED PREP
- 300 mm amended, tilled to subsoil Amendment matched to what the excavation revealed.
- IRRIGATION
- Drip to beds, rotors to lawn Zoned separately, because they need completely different water.
- MULCH
- 75 mm shredded hardwood Pulled back off the trunk flare — volcano mulching kills trees.

Questions people ask
- Do you maintain what you plant?
- Not as an ongoing service — we build. We hand you a plan with everything labelled and a first-year care schedule, and we will recommend a maintenance firm who can read a planting plan.
