Discipline 07: The System

Water goes where we tell it to.

Grading, plantings and water management designed as one system with the stonework, so the whole yard works together and keeps working.

The discipline

A landscape is a system. Water is the test.

Most landscape problems are water problems wearing a disguise: the soggy corner, the washed-out bed, the patio that grows a puddle. Because we build the hardscape and the landscape together, we solve the water first with grading, drains and downspout routing, and then plant into ground that behaves.

The finishing layer is what people see: beds at the right grade, edging that holds its line, stone and mulch that frame the patios and walls instead of competing with them. One system, one crew, one standard.
