Design intelligence

Tools built from
real projects.

Every framework in these products came out of actual client work - not theory. Use them to understand your land, make better decisions, and know what to ask any designer you hire.

How the shop works

Three things to know.

i  Hand-curated

Nothing white-labeled.

Every item in the shop is personally vetted. Plants come from specialty nurseries we know. Tools come from our own practice. Stone is stacked by Dane. There is nothing here from a drop-shipping catalog or a private-label arrangement.

ii  Seasonal + small-batch

Most items are pre-orders.

Plants ship in dormant seasons. Stone is sited and commissioned per project. Digital tools are batched and updated annually. Production is intentionally small - the shop is not a volume operation.

iii  Wholesale + trade

By inquiry.

Trade pricing is available for select nurseries, designers, architects, and landscape professionals. Reach out directly to discuss wholesale terms. The same applies to design tool licensing for studios that want to use our workbooks with their clients.

Commissioned Stone

Cairns and dry-stack stone commissions.

Site-specific hand-stacked stone. Each piece sited and stacked personally by Dane. Permanent installations start at $2,000. Temporary installations from $150. Build your cairn below, or see the full portfolio at keystonecairns.com.
