After concluding the initial, consultation meeting with the client, the next step for us is to go to the drawing board for the actual design phase. As with painting, sculpture, drawing, or other, similar visual arts, Landscape Design is also an artistic endeavor, and should be regarded as such; since it requires that many different factors be taken into consideration. We design each of our clients’ residential landscapes by combining function, form, and beauty to enhance their own unique personality, as well as to provide their own, distinct, “sense of Place.” Using the established principles and elements of Landscape Design (ie. line, proportion, scale, balance, linkage, rhythm, repetition, sequence; etc.) we create residential landscape designs that feature well-shaped planting beds that make the eye flow from point to point of interest, and that compliment both the colors and textures of the trees, shrubs, and groundcovers, as well as the architecture of the home. The resulting composition is intended to reflect both the client’s ideas and the designer’s vision, and to integrate well within its other surroundings.
