Philosophy and Approach

We believe that the well-designed garden is an artistic expression providing beauty, function and meaning. It surprises and delights the senses, while blurring the distinction between house and site. It refreshes the spirit.

We work hard to understand and incorporate a site's inherent opportunities, while minimizing its constraints. We engage our clients to participate in the design process so that the garden becomes a true expression of themselves and their home.

Our approach to any project is a process that starts with the initial client contact and continues past implementation as we monitor how a garden or landscape matures over time. We begin by developing a thorough analysis and understanding of the site and overall context of the project. We then focus on assisting the client and project team in developing a program for the landscape development that identifies project goals and objectives and the unique opportunities that the site presents. We take a holistic approach to site design, responding to the client's program, the architectural vocabulary and layout, and the site's inherent qualities and constraints. Our designs are well thought out, and meticulously detailed. We work hand in hand with contractors and artisans during construction to help insure that the design is well executed with the highest possible level of quality.
