Landscape Aesthetics: Crafting Eden in Your Backyard

Creating a landscape design in harmony with a client's ideals requires an open dialog between the client and the firm, an open mind to fresh ideas, and a willingness to consider change. The firm believes that indoor and outdoor spaces need to flow smoothly together; they need to complement and reinforce each other. The palette of the Landscape Architect consists of the materials we commonly find in nature: plants, soils, stone, and water. In the varied settings of a private residence and garden, a religious property, a multifamily building, hotel or streetscape, a thoughtful consideration of light and shade, space, and careful selection and placement of materials can define spaces and create a varied landscape at small, intimate, or much larger scale.
