The basics

We provide landscape architectural design services for commercial and residential landscapes.  We work with architects, engineers, developers, and others to craft well-integrated designs for commercial and high-end residential projects.  We also provide services directly to homeowners and business owners.

Comfortable, functional, modern, innovative

Our focus is on crafting comfortably modern landscapes that are highly functional, visually stimulating, and technologically innovative.

A partial list of services

Conceptual design: working with the client and/or design team to establish how landscape areas or elements will contribute to the overall project, and defining the basic look.

Design development: working with the client and/or design team to refine the function and look of landscape areas or elements prior to preparing construction drawings or handing off the design to a Design-Build contractor for implementation.  This is also commonly referred to as preliminary landscape design.

Construction drawings & specifications: preparing detailed drawings and specifications to allow the client or design team to obtain ‘apples-to-apples’ construction bids from qualified contractors, and to meet submittal requirements of a City or other jurisdiction.

Bid support: providing answers to questions raised during the bid process and, in some cases, managing the process of obtaining and/or reviewing bids from qualified contractors.

Construction support: providing assessments of installed landscape systems and elements to help the client know whether the design intent has been met, and providing input on proposed solutions to unforeseen conditions encountered during construction.
