DON'T THINK YOU NEED A DESIGN?
You might be right. Not all designs need to be drawn on paper. We can still work with you to plan out your vision and get it built.
DESIGNS BY OTHERS
If you have an existing design from another landscape architecture firm that you wish to implement, we will be more than happy to assist you in this process. However, we cannot fix or partially redesign an landscape plan produced by a another landscape firm. All clients needing redesigns will need to go through our design process as new clients or consult with the architect or design firm that produced their drawings.
