Specializing in Municipal Ordinance Compliance
Landscape ordinances can be both complicated and confusing, but they are our specialty. We will create a landscape design for your site which complies with all ordinance requirements and will gain approval in a timely manner. We are committed to taking the stress out of this part of the design for you. We can save you time and money by providing quick turn-around times, accurate work, and only the required plantings, where desired.
Affordable
Our fees are reasonable and we have a proven track record of success. It also costs no more to install our well-designed plantings than it does to install poorly-designed ones. Please contact us for beautiful and practical design solutions.
Design Standards
Our style is distinctive. We specialize in beautiful curving bed-lines, where practical, and utilize a diversity of well-adapted and affordable but often under-utilized plant species. Our drawings are beautifully executed, accurate, and highly readable.
Our design priorities are:
- Complying with client wishes
- Meeting landscape ordinance requirements
- Shading parking lots
- Screening undesirable views
- Attending visibility and safety concerns
- Enhancing and framing structures
- Providing year-round interest
- Utilizing diverse and interesting plant species
- Utilizing native species where desired or required
- Keeping within budget constraints
- Minimizing maintenance concerns
- Creating an overall inviting environment
