Ecological-Landscape Design

Design Overview

Ecological design is a transformative and educational process that is meant to bring out and grow the potential of the land.

My design process begins with an in-depth stakeholder survey, site observation and analysis, and soil test. My goal is to support your vision for evolving your land. Understanding that the design is only the beginning, I guide clients through phases of growth and planning for change. Your home gardens should match your personality and vision.

Set up the initial site-visit and consultation meeting. ($100 deposit)
