To enhance your properties year round beauty, interest and productiviity I incorporate edible ornamentals, native and drought tolerant plants, and plants that attract birds and other wildlife.

Why have a planned landscape?

An organized plan offers you the opportunity to:

• Select plant varieties and structures that work well for your location.
• Install your landscape in phases, as your time and budget allows.
• Extend the living space of your home.
• Avoid costly mistakes.
• Increase your property's value.

What is a Landscape Design?

A detailed design is a refined blueprint plot plan of your property.

This map:

• Includes a'bird's eye view' drawing
  of your property with exact
  placement of structures and plants.
• Provides the use of phase planning
  as time and budget permits.
• Helps avoid costly mistakes at
  building and planting time.

As part of the design, a plant information booklet is provided. This detailed booklet covers approximately 15 areas of importance for most plants sited on your property.

Soil, light, and water requirements, bloom time, fragrance, type of fruit, maintenance information, and general remarks are some of the areas included in this list.
