A Visual Guide

This is a condensed graphic explanation of what I consider a constantly evolving process. It is an overview that attempts to outline the general process of executing a project.

Design Phase: Survey of Existing Conditions Site Analysis Plan Concept Plan Proposed Plan Additional Descriptive Drawings

Production Documents / Technical Phase: Detailed Plans Design of Specific Details

Bidding / Construction Phase: Bidding & Project Administration Construction of Project

I can work with clients or architects who are interested in building unique projects with a high degree of integration between landscape and architecture, by going beyond basic site planning and providing a more in depth means to a unified overall design.

Whether working with new construction or existing situations, I use my unique skills as a landscape architect to conduct a thorough study of a property, fitted to the client's needs. This leads to a finished product that responds not merely to an existing site, but to the full potential of a site, reducing dramatically the cost or regret associated with not having considered the site fully before buildings and infrastructure are designed and installed.

Beyond a site analysis, I go further to work out a concept and a schematic master plan for the site. In the end the client is left with a comprehensive vision for a well designed and integrated overall plan that they can implement as time and budgets allow.

When phases of a project are implemented, I can also assist the client in the selection of an appropriate architect and/or landscape contractor who is sympathetic to the overall vision. I also collaborate with architects interested in working together to achieve this unique goal.
