It is my goal to provide you, the property owner, with the appropriate level of attention to
meet your needs and goals, while maintaining the integrity and ethic of quality landscape
design services that favor an environmentally conscious and holistic approach.
Guiding principals:
- Start with an understanding of the existing landscape, and proceed with the end in mind.
Consider natural, man made, cultural, physical and visual characteristics.
- Arrange and coordinate for a pleasing effect with an emphasis on functionality and sustainability.
- Consider neighbor and community.
A thorough site analysis is always recommended. Some properties are easy to measure and
evaluate while others are more complex and may even be beyond my capability to access
without assistance. Therefore, input for a site inventory may need to come from multiple sources.
