Outdoor living
Another room,
under the sky.
A terrace brings the idea of a room outside. Seating, planting and the ground plane can work together to define how people gather.
A place to gather
Outside is
a place to belong.
A garden can be a quiet corner, a place to play or somewhere to bring people together. A surface brief should start with those uses, alongside the practical conditions of the site.
Garden.
Terrace.
Everyday escape.
Another room,
Room to move
Space to move.
An activity area begins with its users and intended use. The surface, base and edge conditions should be considered as one project.
Start with the surface
A surface for
the setting.
Three landscape directions for an early project discussion. Suitability, drainage, installation and maintenance need site-specific review.
What lies beneath
Look below
the green.
Pile, backing and the layers underneath deserve equal attention. A physical sample and a project specification help connect the visual direction with the requirements of the setting.
Considered from the ground up
The surface is
only the beginning.
Base preparation, drainage, seams and perimeter details shape the installed result. Start the planning conversation with the whole site, rather than choosing a surface from appearance alone.

Field notes.
PLANNING
Draw the edges first.
Perimeters, obstacles and transitions can influence the layout as much as the main open area.
SITE
Follow where the water goes.
Record existing drainage and levels before developing a surface proposal.
CARE
Plan for the everyday.
Discuss cleaning and maintenance requirements for the actual selected material and site use.
Before we begin.
Does the estimate include an installation plan?
No. It calculates rectangular area plus your allowance. Seams, roll widths, irregular shapes and site details require a separate plan.
Are environmental or performance claims made?
No. This is a brand concept. No recycled content, environmental benefit, sports rating or tested performance is claimed.
What should I bring to a landscape discussion?
A site plan, photos, dimensions, intended use and known drainage or access constraints are useful starting points.

What could
outside become?
Gather the ideas that matter to you. Leave with a clearer starting point for your next conversation.
