Design Process

Create a place like no other on earth. It all starts with an idea. A need. A dream. I listen. I study your architecture, your environment, and present you with a master plan.

I specialize in creating Garden Landscapes that speak to your needs and the vernacular of your home and land. I interview you and your family, study your architecture, and choose plantings that harmonize with your environment. The result is a garden and landscape as unique as you.


Client Input

The client meeting provides and opportunity for you to tell me your needs and desires for the project. Although we begin with this step, this process will continue throughout the process.


Site Evaluation

Evaluation involves a thorough examination of the opportunities that the site affords, as well as its limitations. I’ll take photographs from every angle and measure the site in detail for plotting on the plan.
