Landscape Architecture & Design
Landscape Designers analyze, plan, design, manage, and nurture built and natural environments. We design parks, campuses, streetscapes, trails, plazas, and other projects that help define a community. Residential design is the largest market sector and what we specialize in. Most of our work consists of single-family homes, but also includes multi-family, healthcare communities and retirement communities.
I work personally with each client from conceptual ideas through a design and review process with visual illustrations, detailed plans, and photographic examples to communicate the design intent and bring visualization to your dreams. Every project is unique and in the case of homeowners the landscape and living spaces outside the home are an extension of the inside of the home. I design with that in mind to create a fluid living space on the outside that reflects and enhances the same comforts from within.
Regardless of the scope of your project I work with everyone individually to suit your needs, objectives and budget parameters toward a successful project conclusion.
Drainage & Irrigation
Proper irrigation and drainage is essential to making a landscape design thrive and easy to maintain. We have the tools and talent to optimize the grading, irrigation and drainage on your site.
Installation
A properly installed irrigation system is crucial to maintaining a healthy lawn and landscape. Our irrigation design partners can provide an irrigation system that will save you time, money, and energy while keeping your lawn vibrant all year long. The sprinkling systems of today specialize in keeping your grass green, plants healthy, and your water bills lower. We have the lawn irrigation experience to install your system properly and in the right locations throughout your property to ensure efficiency and equal distribution of water to your lawn. Improperly installed irrigation systems can cause a multitude of problems from overwatering to potential lawn maintenance hazards. We take the time to think through each individual job in order to avoid future problems.
Drainage
Effective watering is paramount to the health of your lawn, but effective drainage and water removal is often overlooked. We can provide you with drainage that works. Whether your front yard landscaping requires a catch basin or your garden landscaping requires underground pipe drainage, our knowledge, experience, and specifications make the most effective use of water throughout your landscape design.
Landscape Installation
I work with multiple skilled contractors, craftsmen, and tradespeople for the installation of your project if you are not already in contact with a professional installer. We offer oversight and consulting during the construction phase of your project to ensure quality and accuracy of the design intent.
Landscape Maintenance
Low maintenance is always a desirable objective and we always design to that end when possible. However, just as there is always cleaning the inside of a home, the same is periodically applicable to the outside. We offer detailed instruction and seasonal timetables for the care of your landscape project whether you choose to maintain it yourself or hire a qualified contractor. We can refer excellent contractors should you choose assistance with periodic maintenance.
Lighting
Transform your property into a warm, inviting, safe, and secure place for everyone with outdoor landscape lighting. We can install intricate lighting designs from contemporary path lights to shadow lighting accent tree canopies for enjoyment even in the dark. Improve your outdoor space with well-executed installation and carefully planned lighting that adds beauty and security to your home. The addition of lighting to the landscape allows you to see and enjoy your beautiful yard, even when you get home from work. High quality, well placed landscape lighting can turn your regular outdoor space into a great area to host evening gatherings for friends and family. In addition to allowing you to just see the yard at night, landscape lighting can add another dimension to your landscape you couldn’t get any other way.
