A Process Rooted in Purpose
At Toftegaard Design, we're on a mission to redefine outdoor living. Our purpose goes beyond conventional yard design; it's about cultivating spaces that nurture your happiness and curiosity, all while prioritizing eco-consciousness and mindfulness. We believe in creating transformative outdoor environments that resonate with your innermost desires, starting from the very inception of our collaboration.
The key
to the magic
A thorough 1-on-1 process
Our individualized approach ensures we’re connecting with what’s most important to you. We discuss your lifestyle and how you want to incorporate the garden into your daily routine. This isn’t just a one-and-done type of project. I spend 1-2 sessions with you to determine the best outcome for your goals, followed by 1-2 more meetings to present your visions.
Easy To Implement
We make it easy to bring your dream yard to life. We design our plans in a clear, user-friendly way, including a plant list, shop links, paint colors, and 3D drawings, so that you can install them yourself or outsource the work to our trusted contractors or your own.
Expert Knowledge
I live and breathe all things plant science, design, and sustainable gardening practices, so you don’t have to. I’ll pass my knowledge on to you, with a clear guide for how to care for your yard when we’re done.
After the project is booked, we start our process, and this can be adjusted based on your project’s needs.
