Welcome to Matthew Gove & Co., where we specialize in designing naturalistic gardens that celebrate the beauty of shifting seasons and the natural cycles of plants and landscapes. Inspired by the aesthetic atmosphere of wild meadows and forest floors, our purposeful, seasonal plantings are crafted to harmonize with the local landscape and complement architectural features. These gardens offer immersive experiences in stunning natural spaces throughout the year.
design
We collaborate closely with our clients to understand their property goals and develop designs that align with their vision and landscape. We create site-specific planting plans and colour palettes that bring together ecological suitability and seasonal interest with artistic and horticultural purpose. If you’re dreaming of a natural retreat, we have the creativity, time and expertise to create a beautiful place to spend time in.
installation
Our dedication to realizing your design begins with custom bed construction, soil enrichment, and meticulous plant care. During installation, we prioritize the natural setting by composting on site when possible, avoiding invasive species, amending the soil with organic fertilizers, and incorporating native and drought tolerant plants to foster ecological continuity. We’re also experienced in renovating and transforming existing gardens, updating spaces with modern plantings.
garden care
Nurturing the beauty and health of your garden is our passion. Our friendly team of horticulturalists provide comprehensive stewardship, including weeding, watering, deadheading and bed maintenance, ensuring your garden remains vibrant and flourishing. We utilize natural, organic pest control methods and offer soil amendments, compost and mulching to enhance the ecological balance of your garden. Our seasonal services include spring clean-up, winterization and garden rejuvenation, ensuring your outdoor space stays radiant year-round.

During an on-site visit, we’ll explore your vision, discuss plant varieties, soil health, irrigation needs and budget considerations.
