Having a landscape that becomes more
beautiful & valuable with time should not be a luxury.
You should expect this from your investment.
It takes knowledge, experience, patience
& creativity to discover a property's true potential.
One must appreciate the "natural systems" that
influence a landscape, both aesthetically & culturally. |

| The landscape
design & construction errors I see raise the
question: Is the focus too much on volume & production
and not enough on the integrity of the landscape
process?
Unlike many of the other fields of design,
the environmental characteristics and earth sciences are
mandatory considerations. My design approach is guided by
a respect for the influences of nature and a strong background
in the horticultural sciences. I create design solutions
that harmonize with the style of home, the environmental con-
straints of the site, and the owner's expectations.
Whether you are considering a quaint
sitting area or renovating the front yard land-
scape, I provide just the degree of design and guidance to
ensure a successful solution. |

There are simple
sketches that provide a cost effective, thoughtful plan
for basic design chal-
lenges. These sketches are drawn in a "propor-
tional scale" that give realistic representation of
the design area and the arrangement & spacing of all
elements.
These simple sketches are easy for
anyone to follow, including "Do-It-Yourselfers." |
|
|
| Larger, more complex projects usually
warrant a complete site plan drawn to scale. This
offers specific details for all those who need to interpret the
design.
During the design process I welcome
feedback from the homeowner. Inevitably, it becomes an
education for all - I learn your expectations & preferences
and you understand the dynamics of your property as they
relate to the design. Quite simply, you're better informed
to make the right decisions concerning the design and future
management of your landscape. |

Project Management
Over the years I have managed
projects of all types. As a designer / contractor, my
experience originates from working closely with the many
disciplines & professions that contribute to the
landscape. Whether it is a specific aspect of your
landscape or a comprehensive project from "start to
finish," I strive for organization, quality and
productivity. |
