We engage a design process rooted in a thorough understanding of the site and active collaboration with the owner and design team. The process begins by exploring and documenting the natural and contextual influences that will lay the foundation for the landscape design to come. While each site is unique, the primary influences typically include views, climate and aspect, site hydrology (stormwater), soil, existing vegetation, topography, and historical influences. We interpret all of these factors, along with the owner’s program and architecture, to inform innovative and sustainable design solutions.
