Our Design Staff


Our design staff has over 45 years of cumulative design experience on projects ranging from residential renovations to college master planning.  Because of our designers varying areas of expertise, we choose to work in an open studio environment.  This allows us to work outside the traditional paradigm of one owner, one designer.  We pool or expertise into an interdisciplinary team.  Although you will have a lead designer assigned to your project, we work together as a team to develop the best possible  solution to fit your landscaping needs.

The following is a list of our design team with a synopsis of their specialties.
