Personalized Landscapes

Client lifestyle and the opportunities of the site come to strike a careful balance, and the result is a design tailored specifically to you.

An initial meeting to discuss client needs and desires forms the foundation of the design process. Aspects discussed range from budget to favorite colors, with the main goal being to identify a design style that will best serve the site and its owners. Design style can reach very far beyond the simplistic decision of formal or informal, and an extensive knowledge of the history of landscape architecture serves to enlighten that decision.

The initial planning process touches on subjects like color and light, the use and management of water, family function, and choice materials and plants. It reaches into recreation, wildlife, playing children, and parking needs. Lifestyle and the opportunities of the site come to strike a careful balance. It is this approach that forms the foundation of the design, not the preferences of the designer.

The result is a design tailored specifically to you. It can be modernistic, historic, or full of whimsy. Above all, it will be totally unique and highly personal.
