What Sets Them Apart

While the corporation has been licensed for one year, its foundation is built on the 30+ years of experience of founder Ward Dilmore, who has worked across three continents and spent over a decade in the Bay Area. They are known for:

• Artistry: Approaching each property as a unique canvas, composing original works shaped by the land and client vision.
• Exclusivity: Accepting a deliberately limited number of new estate partnerships annually, ensuring personal involvement from founders in every project.
• Endurance: Designing landscapes intended to deepen in beauty and mature over decades, drawing inspiration from historic French palace gardens and English estate grounds.
• Founder’s Expertise: Ward Dilmore’s background includes recreating French palace gardens, Mughal-inspired landscapes, and formal English gardens for influential families and celebrity estates.
