Our approach

Resolved before
construction begins.

Better landscapes come from making the important decisions in the right order. Our process creates clarity before the site becomes the place where design problems are discovered.

Why the process matters

Plans before price.
Purpose before features.

The difference is how thoroughly the whole landscape is considered before construction begins.

We bring together the home, site levels, drainage, access, materials, planting, lighting, irrigation, outdoor living, maintenance and construction sequencing. This exposes difficult decisions earlier, gives pricing a reliable basis and gives the construction team a clear project to deliver.

The Story process

From first conversation
to finished landscape.

01

Discuss your project

We begin with the property, the intended scope, any existing plans and the total investment you are considering. This determines whether the project and our way of working are aligned.

02

Site and design

We inspect the property, understand its conditions and develop the landscape design—or review the professional plans you already have. The layout, levels, materials, planting and key construction decisions are brought together.

03

Resolve scope and price

Meaningful construction pricing follows a sufficiently resolved design. We define inclusions, construction requirements, material selections, allowances and exclusions so the figure relates to a clear project.

04

Prepare for construction

The approved design and scope become the reference for scheduling, procurement, specialist coordination and site delivery. Outstanding decisions are addressed before they become expensive site changes.

05

Construct the landscape

Our team delivers the landscape according to the approved plans, agreed scope and Trueform Standard, with attention given to both the visible finish and the construction beneath it.

06

Complete and hand over

We inspect the completed work and provide relevant care, operating and maintenance information so the landscape can establish, perform and age as intended.

The principle

Construction should confirm the design—not become the place where the design is invented.
