building a better world one garden at a time

YOU DESERVE A HAVEN, NOT A HASSLE.

SHOW MOTHER EARTH SOME LOVE IN THE PROCESS.

No more yards that are just wasted space and extra labor! Thoughtful design can transform negatives - like flooding, erosion, access issues, privacy concerns, and noise pollution - into positives that benefit you and nature.

I specialize in translating your concerns, needs, and dreams into a beautifully functional landscape. Let’s maximize your enjoyment of your home!

GARDENS AREN’T JUST A LUXURY. THEY’RE A NECESSITY.

FOR YOU, YOUR WALLET, AND THE WORLD.

I'll design a space for you that provides ecosystem support while also giving you better air, water, and soil quality; higher bill savings; and increased property value.

With stormwater management, wildfire preparedness, and integrated pest management, my designs support a healthier environment for us all. Together, we can design a garden that sparks joy today and protects local ecosystems for future generations of people, plants, and animals.

Whether you have basic questions about improving your garden or you want to fully reimagine your property, Lark Haven Studio can help.

"Lark Haven is the most amazing company. I would highly recommend them for all types of landscape design work... The new plants Brooke selected are just flourishing, are simple to care for and the design is just so pretty. Brooke cares deeply for her clients and she really helped us reimagine our wetlands garden."

Anita & Scott D.
"Working with Brooke on our garden design was such a positive experience. She took the time to understand how we wanted to use the space (even taking into consideration my 5-year-old’s design requests!), and brought thoughtful ideas for the overall layout. Her suggestions for things like raised bed placement and adding a pergola helped make the space feel more intentional and functional. She also helped us understand our soil health (or lack thereof) and created a plan for us to improve it in a sustainable and budget-friendly way. Throughout the process she was collaborative and clearly passionate about creating a space we’d love spending time in."

Rachel B.
"Brooke elevated my idea of a more private front yard for native pollinators and helped me craft my dream space. From incorporating neighborhood noise abatement to DIY-friendly privacy solutions, she listened to and addressed all of my wants and needs, specifically use of existing structures and limited budget. Couldn't be happier with her work!"

Sye S.
"Brooke took the time to interview me about what kind of style and plants I wanted for my roof top patio. She delivered an amazing design that took into account the space, my answers, and her own professional touches. I am excited to put her design into action!”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes! I’m able to provide designs remotely throughout the US.
My design packages focus on residential properties under 5,000 SQ FT. However, I’ve worked on multi-acre properties before! So if you have a larger property and are interested in working together, please reach out for a custom quote.
As a design-only studio, I don’t handle procurement nor perform design installations for my clients.
I want my clients to have the flexibility to work with vendors of their choice or DIY, so I don’t have preferred vendors. I provide scale-accurate designs that any crew can work with.
In terms of landscape maintenance, I strongly encourage clients to hire ISA certified arborists and master pruners to care for their gardens.
Yes! My design plan is drawn to scale so other contractors should be able to work with my designs.
While your overall budget goal for your landscaping will influence the scope of my design, I do not provide a budget estimate for projects. There are too many variables that I’m not able to account for, such as your choice in hardscaping materials and decor elements, plant nursery pricing fluctuations, and install crew rates. However, I am conscious of budget restraints and I can provide installation recommendations so that you can space the project out over several years for better affordability.
The timeline depends upon the selected design package, the size of the design space, and client availability for meetings and concept plan approval. It can range from a week to over a month. I dedicate my time to ensure quality throughout the process.
If you’re trying to get designs by a specific date, please reach out to see if my schedule can accommodate that timeline.
While I can’t guarantee that a specific species will flock to your garden, we can definitely make it more inviting for them! By including water sources, host plants for their food (or for other creatures in their food chain), and shelter, we can encourage many species of pollinators and birds to visit our gardens. If there’s a specific species you want to attract to your garden, please let me know!
I love adding edible elements to garden designs! It can be a dedicated vegetable garden section or we can subtly incorporate crops, fruit trees, and/or shrubs into your garden plan.
