Native Plantings Design
Gardens that thrive on our climate, not against it.
Native and climate-adapted plantings are built for the Pacific Northwest's rhythm — soaking up winter rain and coasting through dry summers with little fuss. FloraStone Studio designs planting plans that hold their structure year-round and ask far less upkeep than thirsty ornamentals.
Every plan is composed up front and presented in photorealistic 3D with detailed plant selections, so you can see how the garden reads across all four seasons before a single plant goes in the ground.
Right plant, right place
We design with species suited to your light, soil, and grade — layering natives and climate-adapted perennials, shrubs, and trees so the garden has structure in winter and movement through the growing season, with minimal watering once established.
Low-maintenance by design
A well-composed planting plan is the quietest part of a landscape to live with. We choose plants that earn their place, group them by their needs, and detail the beds so the garden matures into the design rather than away from it.
