As a residential landscape architect with 22 years of experience in western Massachusetts, I design home landscapes that are elegantly simple, beautifully usable, and environmentally healthy. My plans harmoniously integrate the important components of a satisfying home environment. These include:

Welcoming arrival areas and unobtrusive car spaces
Comfortable, convenient outdoor gathering places
Inviting paths and steps, gracious walls and patios
Sunny pockets, protected nooks, usable open areas
Safe, intriguing places for children's activity
Self-sustaining, wildlife-supporting vegetation
Effective drainage and recycling of resources

A well-designed home landscape will give you pleasure, security, beauty and peace, in a manner that sustains the health of the natural world. I look forward to working with you to create a home environment that satisfies your individual needs and wishes.
