‘The ideal of beauty is simplicity and tranquility’
     - Johann Wolfgang Goethe

No words better describe the goal of my design work.

A good design is a well thought out design taking into consideration the existing landscape nature has provided for us under our feet, over our heads and at our sitting and standing views as we experience it. I strive to provide a plan that integrates and enhances the natural areas and/or structure you have in your  landscape. Perhaps the building is the artful factor, or maybe a natural area with native plants, a pond, or the colors and sounds in your environment. These will be the tools I use to determine how best to create a design that looks and feels like it ‘belongs’ or ‘happened by nature’.

I am a certified Landscape Designer and Garden Maintenance professional, have over 30 years of gardening experience and am a NOFA accredited land care professional. All my designs use the ‘right plant, right place’ guidelines. Whether you are looking for containers that will thrive in their location, a garden that will provide you beauty and time to enjoy it or a landscape that can be installed in phases I can help you meet those goals.
