MATT KILBURN
Garden Designer, Owner

 

My interest in gardens began at a very early age digging alongside my parents in their garden, developing an understanding of plants and the dynamic nature of the garden.

 

I studied fine art in university and worked for 10 years as a graphic designer before I followed my dream to apply this knowledge to outdoor spaces.

 

I went back to school and completed the University of British Columbia Garden Design program with honours.

 

My skills as a graphic designer are well suited to the design of outdoor spaces and my technical knowledge and passion for gardens is evident in the spaces that we create.

TY SMITH
Construction Manager, Owner

 

Born and raised on the West Coast of British Columbia, the great outdoors have always felt like home.

 

I am a professional stone mason and have a background in commercial and residential construction, site management and extensive experience in all forms of landscaping including custom stone masonry, paving, woodworking and planting. 

 

I’m involved on a project site from the initial concept presentation to the final walk-through, making sure each project is executed professionally, on time and on budget.  I feel lucky to have made a career out of bringing outdoor spaces to life.
