Q: What does your firm specialize in?
Q: Who worked on the winning project?
Q: What were your practical goals for the project?
Q: What solutions did you find to your design problems? A: We created a raised dining and barbecue patio flush to the finished floor of the house to make it feel like an extension of the kitchen.
Q: What are your favorite features of the project? As for the layout, the boardwalk accentuates the view of the existing mature maple tree, making it a focal point of the garden. When working with concrete, be absolutely sure of your formwork and double-check everything before pouring concrete.
We like to take time as a company to visit art galleries and design events and even take trips to visit the RHS Chelsea Flower Show or to walk the Highline in New York. Q: Which garden designers, gardeners, or landscape architects do you admire?
