Your home and its surroundings are expressions of your aesthetic, your values, and vision of comfort. Where you live is not only an address, it is your personal message to the community...it tells a story about you. It is a natural response to create places where we want to spend time both in and outside of the home.Color is an integral part of this process. Our reaction and feeling for color is universal. Color in the landscape, whether in the form of flowers, foliage, or structures, will invoke these feelings too. By using softer and earthy colors we may create a soothing personal space or in contrast use bolder colors for an exciting entertaining space. Sometimes a simple addition of color...perhaps a painted bench, pot, or chair...can tie an architectural element to the landscape. The possibilities are endless and ultimately exciting!
Extensive knowledge of PNW flora and an artistic background in sculpture and painting are the tools I use to transform your landscape into the colorful and wonderful place that you envision. My successful residential landscapes for the past 8 years result from an attitude of openness and genuine respect for the client and their concerns.
