WHAT IS ZEN?
Simply, to see what is there.
Some call it "going with the flow"
Others call it "going with the grain"
For us, it's just 2nd Nature.
Our philosophy
Before allowing imagination to take its form,
first understand and appreciate the existing conditions.
This is zen, in the landscape.
We have learned what works and why.

My design philosophy is simple:
less is more.
Less waste. More use.
The approach to each project is rooted in understanding the existing conditions of a site and adapting a layout or design to enhance the space with nature based solutions. We keep what is working and enhance the rest. The goal is to create landscapes that remind us (and the birds, bees and butterflies) of nature's allure with texture, color and smells. Re-introducing nature to clients as a big picture problem solver is a sheer joy.
Our sustainability principles look like using native plants, raw materials, natural decor, solar technology and zero chemicals. The outcome is a property that simply works better for the client and the environment.
