I am a Master Gardener. This rigorous training covers all aspects of plants, pests, soil, irrigation, pruning, and the importance of our community and its role in being a steward of the land, conserving water and minimizing the impact of our activity on the ecosystem. I have a bachelor's degree in Visual Arts. Over time I have developed a keen eye for aesthetic...in the landscape this plays out with color, shadow, texture and movement...where the eye is drawn. Color palette is arranged with trees, plants, flowers, stone, wood, and mulch. I have trained with the CSLS (Contractor’s State Licensing School) and the CLCA (California Landscape Contractor’s Association).

Building a Japanese meditation garden for a friend. It had dry-fit stone walls, brick paths, flowering trees and a fish pond with a waterfall. Landscaping quickly became a passion.

Residential customers from all over Marin. Most of the customers we work with have some idea of how they want to improve their landscaping, but overall they have counted on us for expertise and creative input.

Our most impressive project to date is in Sausalito. It was a young couple that recently purchased the house, and they wanted to start from scratch without breaking the bank. The lot was an overgrown mess! We completely transformed their property with retaining walls, patios and flower beds in a cost-effective manner. They tripled the usable space in their landscape, just in time for the birth of their first child!

Like and trust your landscaper! Good communication is key to avoiding headaches, so don't be afraid to be specific in your desires, dreams and expectations.

They should ask, “What ideas have I been dreaming of? How do I really want to live in my outdoor space? What landscape ideas have I seen in my neighborhood, in my travels, or in a magazine, that I really liked!? What was I responding to most in those landscapes? What features do I definitely want? Not want? What is my budget range?”
