We prepare schematic design and design development drawings, leading to construction documents & specifications.

Why engage the services of a Landscape Architect?

We live in a world where correcting an unnecessary stone wall, or a drive that is poorly located or a terrace that is too large can equate to or exceed the cumulative fees a landscape architect may charge. For this reason and more, landscape architects are essential to the client and project.
