Residential landscapes, estates and healing gardens
The landscape you now have and the landscape you would love are the roots of your design. The process of discovery is the foundation for your landscape design.

In close partnership, we find landscape design options that work for you and your site—creating your concept. Knowing the landscape qualities you love best makes design decisions smooth and easy.

Your final product may be a broad outline, a master plan, or detailed landscape construction plans. Or you may choose to do it yourself, with coaching and consulting.

Contact me for options.

Discovery
What do you want and need? Exactly what type of landscape beauty gives you the deepest sense of pleasure and satisfaction? And do you want spaces for specific activities—a garden retreat, a place for parties, an outdoor spa, or a wildlife sanctuary?

Are you thinking of adding a new feature?—A patio, an arbor, a fountain, or a fence? Maybe you want a sports area, an herb garden, or a child’s play area?

Do you have special concerns, such as security or privacy? Are there drainage issues, or problem steep areas? Do you need low maintenance or water-wise plantings?

All about your existing landscape. I need to know what’s there now, where you have problems, and what parts you especially like. And we will need a map of your site if we are going to draw plans.

Creating your concept
This is the part with wings! It’s nearly magical—rich, creative, and exhilarating. We weave together your fundamental landscape preferences with effective solutions. We create something entirely new and entirely yours. We work together until you know it’s right. Contact me to learn more about this rewarding process!

Master plans are the “Big Picture.” They’re great for phased landscape installation—you can be sure to maintain your essential design intent as you tackle your project one phase at a time. They can also be inspirational—they keep your landscape dream alive!

Landscape construction plans are installation instructions for your new landscape. They are for your use if you are doing the work yourself, or for your contractor to bid and build from.

These plans show the location and type of every plant, pot, pipe, rock, and anything else you intend to build, along with construction details.

Building it—with a contractor
If you use a landscape contractor, I can help by suggesting qualified companies, reviewing their bids, and reviewing your installation. I can help make sure you get what you pay for, and that the work and materials are top quality.

Building it—DIY
If you Do-It-Yourself, I can help by coaching you through your landscape installation. This means big savings for you! I can also find you a landscape contractor to do the heavy work, if you prefer.

I can get you wholesale plants and pots. I charge only for shopping time, and you get landscape materials at cost plus sales tax … at huge savings. This shopping service is available only for my DIY design clients. Contact me to learn more about DIY landscapes!

Coaching and consulting
Would you like help and advice on specific landscape problems, small areas, or general planning? Creative brainstorming? I can even teach you basic landscape design. Do you need planting suggestions for specific areas? Help with community projects and volunteer coordination? Contact me —tell me what you need—I’m flexible!
