Landscape Construction
Working in association with Mark Pettes Landscape Architect OALA.
Integrated Landscape Design & Construction
Working in association with Mark Pettes of MDP Landscape Consultants , we offer professional landscape design and construction as part of our complete build service.
Exceptional landscaping is what separates a great project from an extraordinary one – yet it is an element that is too often left as an afterthought. The outdoor spaces, finishes, and details surrounding a home are just as important as what is built inside it. We believe great design should extend beyond the front door, and with Mark’s expertise as part of our process, it does.
Through our collaboration with Mark Pettes of MDP Landscape Consultants, we provide fully integrated landscape design and construction as part of our complete build service.
The Integrated Build Advantage
One of the key benefits we offer is the ability to deliver both the home and landscape as a unified project.
Rather than coordinating multiple contractors, our clients benefit from a streamlined process where design intent is preserved from concept through completion.
This results in:
- Greater efficiency and accountability
- Improved communication across all project phases
- A more cohesive and refined final outcome

Design-Led Construction
Every successful landscape begins with strong design.
Through our association with Mark Pettes, a qualified Landscape Architect (OALA), each project is guided by professional design expertise. This ensures that every element—from layout and grading to material selection and planting—is thoughtfully considered and executed to a high standard.
The result is not just a finished landscape, but a well-composed outdoor environment that enhances the entire property.
A Complete Approach to Landscape Construction
We believe that landscape design and construction should not be separate from the home-building process. By integrating both from the outset, we ensure that every element – indoors and out – works together seamlessly.
Our collaborative approach allows for:
- Consistent design language across the entire property
- Efficient project coordination and timelines
- Reduced risk of conflicts between architecture and landscape
- Better long-term performance and usability of outdoor spaces
Clear Steps. Consistent Execution.

“From the initial consultation to move-in, the Riverstone team exceeded every expectation. Their attention to detail, clear communication, and commitment to quality ensured every aspect of our project-from the home itself to the surrounding outdoor spaces—came together seamlessly.
