My Philosophy
My approach to landscape design is both collaborative and thoughtful.
Together, my clients and I enjoy unearthing the feeling and ‘flavor’ that will make their landscape a unique and special place. Each landscape is designed to fit the clients’ interests and needs. Maintenance and the evolution of the landscape are also important aspects.
I integrate ecological principles and locally grown native plants as appropriate so the landscape is attractive to wildlife as well as people. Additionally, my solid grasp of construction techniques and expertise at contract and budget management underlie and inform our planning.
Please contact me if you have questions, or if you’d like to discuss working together on your landscape!
