Landscape design begins with a careful examination of space.

• How are the residence and outbuildings sited?
• Is there existing hardscape and what condition is it in?
• What are the most frequently used outdoor spaces?
• What new features are being constructed?
• What challenges do the slopes and terrain shifts present?
• How should we imagine the paths of connection?
• What are the local micro-climates?
• Are the homeowners gardeners or do they want to become gardeners?
