Concept & Design
When passion meets precision - a project built from the heart out.
Concept:
Because The Baines Project was envisioned and designed by Greenscape’s very own owner, Mike Baines, the process began with a deeply personal understanding of what makes an outdoor space truly special. The goal was to create a property that embodied Greenscape’s philosophy: spaces that invite connection, balance rustic charm with modern sophistication, and stand the test of time. The vision was to craft an outdoor retreat designed for ultimate relaxation, entertainment, and craftsmanship at its finest.
Design:
The design evolved organically from Mike’s expertise and creative intuition, blending practical function with artistic detail. Each feature, from the handcrafted stone firepit and abundant cozy seating areas, to the koi pond, shaded outdoor patio, and ambient lighting, was intentionally placed to create flow and atmosphere. Natural materials like wood, stone, and brick harmonize with refined finishes to create a cohesive, lived-in elegance. The result is not just a showcase of Greenscape’s capabilities, but a reflection of the company’s passion for building spaces that feel authentic, timeless, and deeply personal.
Build & Maintain
Bringing the vision home!
Build:
With the plans established, The Baines Project came to life through meticulous craftsmanship and thoughtful execution. Greenscape’s team transformed each design element into a seamless, fully realized outdoor living space, from the carefully laid stone and brick surfaces to the subtle integration of lighting that enhances both ambiance and functionality. Every texture, structure, and material was selected to feel intentional and enduring, creating an atmosphere that feels inviting, cohesive, and unmistakably Greenscape.
Maintain:
While The Baines Project stands as a lasting testament to both artistry and precision, Greenscape’s maintenance services ensure that the same level of quality endures across all landscapes we build. With tailored programs for lawn care, pruning, seasonal clean-ups, lighting maintenance, and long-term plant health, Greenscape provides continued stewardship of every outdoor environment. Our goal is simple: to protect YOUR investment, preserve the beauty of the landscape, and ensure every space continues to thrive long after completion.
