At Outdoor Habitat, we work with builders, architects and interior designers to breathe life into your valuable exteriors. Our plantings add texture and natural dimension, and extend the interior vision outdoors.

By partnering from the beginning, we make informed and efficient recommendations around hardscaping and relevant infrastructure—laying the foundation for the most impactful and long-lasting gardens.
