Project Design Conduct a survey and initial site assessment. We excel at taking advantage of existing topography and amenity. For parks and other major projects, layout roads, pathways and building structures. We take into account your local persona and site history as well as the site amenities. For residential and smaller projects, we layout beds, features and walkways. We always take into consideration your personal preferences and goals. We design landscape with natural and / or oriental influence. We will select plants and other materials that have their own personalities to create a unique and beautiful outdoor experience that you will enjoy for years. Design and engineer water features . Water Features can be major problems if they are not designed by an expert with the knowledge and experience necessary to take all factors into account. With over 50 years experience, we have learned to anticipate these problems and design so as to avoid them. Providing an enjoyable, trouble free water feature for many years to come Sculpting We will design and furnish sculptural features using a wide variety of materials including metal, stone, wood and glass. For carved human figures, we work with excellent carvers in the Philippines and other areas where the desired stone is sourced. Construction and Project Management We will assist you in selecting contractors needed for your project. For distant projects and those outside of the United States, we are able to select contractors capable of implementing our design skillfully and economically. Layout and oversee the site installation. The installation details are critical to achieve the desired results. The exact positioning and facing of rocks. Pruning and handling of special specimens, and other details that go beyond what can be shown on a paper plan Re-purposing We are passionate about re-purposing materials. Over the years, we have made use of salvageable materials such as old railroad cars, track and a train station for a family retreat center called the "Coupling". During another project we used structural steel and glass chunks from a glass manufacturing plant that became a large sculptural theme throughout the park and the glass chunks became a river of glass cascading down a hill.
