Design
Your Yard
for Self-Care
and Serenity

You can’t wait to wander through your yard and feel a sense of peace, pride, and pure joy. 

You’ve pinned dozens of images to your Pinterest board and saved inspo pics on Instagram. Maybe you’ve contemplated incorporating edible and native plants into your space or you’re curious about growing seasonal veggies.

Perhaps you’re ready to trade in our traditional grass lawn for one that’s more in tune with the environment (no sprinklers or mowing required). You’ve even tried your hand at planting some herbs or flowers yourself.

You know what you want your outdoor space to feel like … you’re just not sure how to bring that essence to life. 

And so you find yourself staring out the window at an uninspiring yard that just sits there, unused, unattractive, and uninviting.

YOU NEED A GARDENING EXPERT WHO TRULY CARES ABOUT YOUR VISION and THE ENVIRONMENT.

At Toftegaard Design, we cultivate restorative outdoor experiences designed to enhance your curb appeal and enrich your everyday life, while also making a positive impact on the environment. Every one-of-a-kind design is tailored to your personal landscape design style, day-to-day routines, and wellness goals, whether you envision a meditation corner, a fruit and vegetable garden, or an inviting space to entertain family and friends.

We’ll guide you toward choices for your outdoor space that reflect the mindful shifts you’ve made within yourself.

Kind Words From Clients

  • "Hiring Sara to customize the plan for my landscaping and garden design was a great decision. From start to finish, she was easy to work with and accommodating to both my vision for having a creative and unique space, as well as keeping things moving at a consistent pace. I really appreciated her attention to detail and the time she spent with the landscapers on-site, ensuring the design was implemented on budget, time, and with quality too. It’s rare to get everything you want sometimes but I feel like that’s really what resonates in hindsight from this entire experience."
