Bespoke design,
wherever your land is.
For owners outside the DMV, multi-property holders, and anyone who wants expert strategic input on a property without committing to a full design build.
Geography is no longer the constraint.
Most of the design work happens before a shovel touches the ground. Soil analysis, hydrology, sightlines, sun, microclimates, planting selection, financial leverage mapping. Almost all of that can be done from imagery, surveys, and a real conversation with you.
Our remote consultation model has been used by owners in New England, the Hamptons, California, the Pacific Northwest, and overseas. The work is the same as our on-site engagements; only the format changes.
You walk away with a complete plan, a vetted pathway for execution through trusted local hands, and a partner you can call as the work unfolds.
One conversation changes how you see the land.
A focused two-hour engagement. Site walk, assessment, and a written summary of what we found and what we recommend. The starting point for any larger engagement.
Three kinds of owner, one model.
A property far from the DMV.
You own land in California, New England, the Hamptons, or overseas. You want the strategic and creative work done by Dane, and you want to execute through someone trustworthy locally. We deliver the design and connect you with the right hands.
More than one place to think about.
A primary residence, a country place, a coastal property. You want each one to express the same philosophy and design language without managing three different firms. The remote model gives you one strategist across the portfolio.
Thinking before committing.
You are evaluating a property, considering a purchase, or trying to understand what a property is actually capable of before you invest. A strategy consultation gives you a senior read on the land before you commit capital.
The best strategic decisions on a property are made before construction begins. Almost all of them can be made remotely.Dane Hoover, Founder
A structured process,
not a long-distance phone call.
Discovery call
15 minutes. We talk about your property, your goals, and whether the remote model is a fit. By the end, you will know which engagement makes sense and what the realistic next step is.
Property immersion package
You send us imagery, survey documents, drone footage if available, soil tests if available, and a walking video. We analyze hydrology, soil, sun, microclimates, and the existing ecology. Most clients are surprised by how much the land tells us before we ever set foot on it.
Strategic session
A focused 60 - 90 minute video conversation. We walk through what your property is actually capable of, the design pathways available, the trade-offs, and the financial leverage where applicable. Most clients describe this as the most clarifying conversation they have had about their own land.
Bespoke documentation
A written deliverable specific to your property. Recommended pathways, phasing, planting principles, structural recommendations, and a pathway map for local execution. The document is yours to keep and to share with whoever ends up executing.
Follow-up access
Questions come up as you execute. The remote engagement includes a follow-up window for email and phone access so we are still in your corner as decisions arise. Many clients choose to convert into a retainer for ongoing strategic input across phases.
Three ways to engage.
$1K +
One strategic session, one written deliverable. The right format if you have a specific question or want a senior strategic read on a property you are evaluating or already own.
Hourly engagement
Pay for strategic input as you need it. Most appropriate for owners executing a project and needing periodic expert input. Hours can be drawn down across calls, document review, and pathway guidance.
Ongoing retainer
Quarterly or annual retainer for multi-property owners and clients executing across multiple phases. Direct line access, scheduled strategic check-ins, and continuity across the work.
Your land deserves senior thinking,
wherever it sits.
Begin with a 15-minute discovery call. We will talk about your property, your geography, and whether the remote model is the right fit.
