Meet The Owner

James!

You could say I’m a serial entrepreneur. I love business. I love the freedom that comes with being your own boss. But it can be really scary too. 

Carving Eden is the first business I ever started. I was landscaping long before I had a website, and long before I was getting paid to do it. For the sheer love of it I would work for free. 

After years of people telling me that this was my true calling I finally gave it a go. I built a website and started marketing myself (I have a long history and career in digital marketing). That first summer was amazing but I didn’t manage cash flow very well and in the fall things were looking grim, so I went back to what I knew – Marketing. 

A couple years later and a couple successful business ventures later, I found myself once again doing water features and landscape designs for friends and family. 
 
With much more business experience I was able to take on only projects that interested me. I had established enough security that I could be selective. So I decided I would make another go at Landscape Harmony – but this time I was going to be very selective. 
 
Then I started working with other passionate professionals who loved landscaping. And sure enough I was able to do what I love but also employ enough resources to offer full scale landscaping services. 
 
Today I work mostly in the office and take on only portfolio projects that give me the freedom to be as creative as I like. I manage to be on site for 4-6 big projects each season (often spending my holiday time from my other businesses) and I couldn’t be happier. 
 
My love and passion for landscape creations will always be at the core of my being and I hope I get to grow old and grey(er) in the garden. 
 
Lets work together. 

The Landscape DESIGN Process

Caving Eden | Ottawa Landscaping services
1. Understanding The Client and the Project

Understanding how you will use the space is the first item on my list. What is your style and taste? Here we determine budgets and timelines.

2. examine, Measure & Refine

Getting a thorough understanding of your space can take some time. I like to spend time alone in the space and let the space speak to me. Here I gather all the data I need to begin the creative process.

3. Create the Design.

Often design is a creative process that requires two minds. At this stage we venture into various concepts and narrow down your likes and dislikes. Ultimately this journey results in a tangible design and plan.

4. Carve Your Paradise

Carving Eden Crews get to work in executing the design plan in order to bring your new dream to life.
