As in residential design, this experience has allowed us to know what does and doesn’t work. We are able to offer practical solutions that not only enhance your home and lifestyle but fit your budget as well.

We therefore offer a comprehensive analysis of needs and then design a solution that includes everything. We don’t just draw you a pool and leave you to figure out the rest. We will look at the seating around the pool. Landscaping, lighting, fencing, access etc. We can then give you a realistic estimate of ALL the costs associated with your project. Most importantly, your pool will be designed by a Landscape Architect-a designer   trained to look at the entire picture- not a pool salesman-not trained in design and only focused on the pool.

We can also help you to visualize proposed solutions through strong graphics; sketches, drawings and 3d modeling. We make the process easy to use and friendly through personal interaction and the Internet.

Services range from simple onsite consultations to complete design and construction management services. We can offer through our network of qualified contractors a complete solution to all your needs. In short we can provide a custom pool that fits your property- (not a templated  ‘production’ pool that has to be forced onto your property) and have it installed at costs comparable to the production models.

 As with Residential and Estate design, our firm has a passion for custom pools, water features and outdoor rooms. So much so that we will for selected clients have our designs installed through tradesmen that we have worked with over the years. The relationships we have established allow us to have a seamless integration of the process from conceptual design to final punch list. A good project is a collaborative one. The firm believes in getting out and getting involved and that the Landscape Architect doesn’t have all the answers. The firm promotes dialogue with the trades and is eager to hear alternative views. In short we love the smell of fresh turned dirt in the morning mixing with the aroma of our coffee! It keeps us fresh!

As in residential design, we make it our priority to LISTEN.  We believe this is your home-not ours- this will be your private oasis. Our job is to make your dreams come true, not impose ours on them.

Call/email us to discuss your project and we can see if what we have to offer fits with what you need! If after our discussions you feel it is not a good fit we will understand completely. If we feel our services are not what you need, or that someone else we know can do it at a better cost, we will let you know. We would rather part friends than force a relationship!

Our firm also provides consultation on an hourly basis if you would like to discuss a problem/ potential project or would like a second opinion on a proposal for work you are considering.
