I work directly with my clients one on one in a manner that educates and
informs. My listening skills are refined and so you will not find me talking the entire time during
our meetings. It's your home, your yard and your needs and desires that I must cultivate in order
to achieve a thoughtful design.
I consider myself to be a designer who happens to be a contractor, not the
other way around. Do I have a particular style or design approach? Not really. I will let the
photos on this website address that issue. My attempt however is to blend stone, water, fire,
plants
and sculptural elements into designs that evoke a sense of serenity, liveliness and beauty. Balance
is the key to good design.
My deeper interest in gardens, nature and design is something I feel more
about a garden rather than seeing it. I also use “Feng Shui” where appropriate. For
clients that want a more spiritual focused design or space such as meditation garden, labyrinth or
healing garden I can provide gardens that become "sacred gardens".
A vast majority of the landscapes I create are conventional and functional
-- meeting the needs of the client for the budget they have to work with. So when I get a client
that wants to do something out of the box, then I get to show my true colors.
My real estate background gives me a better understanding of the meaning
of "curb appeal" as I work often with Realtors who always want to know how to improve a property
but "not spend alot of money". There are ways to improve value in an affordable manner.
Check out the Frequently Asked Questions area where I try to answer most
of the typical concerns and thoughts people have about hiring a professional for design and
landscaping.
