People first, landscape architecture second. That may sound a little odd coming from a landscape architecture firm, but it's how we approach everything we do: focusing on your needs rather than our own. Yes, we rely on our experience - several decades' worth, at last count - along with our education and expertise and credentials. But what it really comes down to is listening. To owners, to architects, to maintenance staff. To those who will be using the places we make. Because good landscape design is more than the expression of craftsmanship; it's a responsiveness to the interaction of both social and natural systems - which, in turn, leads to memorable places that delight and inspire.
