My goal is to provide functional creative design solutions that reflect an awareness and sensitivity to:
Existing site conditions / Proposed Landscape Objectives / Clients’ Preferences. The scope of the project is guided by the client’s participation, requests and priorities.
My general scope of services includes site analysis, spatial organization, landscape design, plant selection and installation supervision, along with related horticultural information and specifications. I provide overall concepts for all aspects of the design, but am not responsible for the grading, irrigation and hardscape construction details.
The client's preference, budget and timeline will determine the method and extent of design detail, information and directives necessary to communicate the vision, delineate the master and implement the projects
