GOOD SPACES. GREAT OUTDOORS.
More outside.
More you.
Space for the slow mornings, the long lunches, and everything in between.
Landscape design, planting, and seasonal care, imagined for life in the Carolinas.

01 / GARDEN DIRECTIONS
Your outside.
Your kind of space.
Three starting points for an outdoor space with a little more life. Explore these illustrative concepts and imagine what yours could become.
Stock photography illustrates fictional garden concepts; these are not completed client projects.
02 / WHAT WE CAN SHAPE
Small refresh.
Whole new garden.
A plan for the whole garden, a fresh approach to planting, or a helping hand with the spaces you already love.
01Landscape design
Start with how you want to use your space. Bring paths, gathering places, and planting together in one considered direction.
- Garden layout and visual direction
- Materials and planting palette
- A phased plan for your priorities
02Planting & renewal
Bring softness, privacy, and seasonal interest to a tired border or an open space. Plan around the light, soil, and care your garden needs.
- Planting beds and border refreshes
- Layered textures and thoughtful spacing
- A clear establishment and care plan
03Seasonal garden care
Keep a garden feeling considered as it grows. Agree on the attention it needs, from a seasonal refresh to a regular care routine.
- Seasonal bed and border attention
- Pruning, mulching, and tidy-ups
- A care schedule shaped around the space
03 / A SIMPLE BEGINNING
Good ideas.
Room to grow.
The best place to start is with your space, your routines, and what you wish your garden could be.
- 01
Walk through the possibilities.
Share how you use your garden, what works, and what you would love to change.
- 02
Find a direction together.
Explore a clear plan, with the scope, priorities, and budget agreed before work begins.
- 03
Give it room to grow.
Bring the details together and leave with a practical understanding of what comes next.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Good to know
before you grow.
Can a garden be improved in stages?
The example approach begins with a whole-garden direction, then breaks it into manageable phases. An actual provider would confirm costs and timing for your space.
What would I prepare for an enquiry?
A few photos, approximate dimensions, and a sense of how you want to use the space are a helpful beginning. This demonstration doesn’t upload photos or collect enquiries.
Is Stillgrove a real landscaping company?
No. Stillgrove is a fictional portfolio concept by Dark Hour Designs. The photography is illustrative and the enquiry flow is a demonstration.
