Landscapes for the rituals of home.

We believe in being outdoors more than in.

Sanctuary Landscape Design specializes in creating landscapes that enhance the rituals of home.

Our approach focuses on sustainable, responsible design, incorporating climate-appropriate plants and materials to create spaces that blends natural beauty with liveable functionality.

We consider not only how you want your space to function, but also the soul of the land itself. By understanding the land’s inherent qualities and working with, rather than against them, it enables us to create a living, flourishing space that you will be able to enjoy for years to come.

Our Services

  • Every project begins with understanding the unique characteristics of your site and the style you’re drawn to. This is a person meeting to discuss your vision, site conditions, and project goals, and is the first step in understanding your needs, offering expert recommendations, and determining the best approach for your space.

  • A high-level design phase where we establish the overall vision for your landscape. This includes style direction, planting themes, hardscape layout, presented through a 3D rendering.

    The goal is to create a foundation that reflects your needs and preferences before moving into detailed drawings and specifications.

  • Using SketchUp and rendering tools, we create lifelike views of your project so you can see how the elements come together before any construction begins. These visuals help you feel confident and aligned with the design direction.

  • We thoughtfully select plants and materials that suit your site conditions and style while balancing color, texture, and seasonal interest. From gravel and stone to fencing, lighting, and hardware, we guide you through the finishes and materials that will bring your space to life. Our focus is on durability, harmony, and natural beauty. You’ll receive a detailed planting plan that showcases the layout, spacing, and care needs that your landscape requires.

  • While we don’t currently offer in-house construction, we partner closely with your contractor to support a smooth install. We’ll also connect you to trusted local vendors for plant sourcing, materials, and specialty items.
