We Create… an environmentally conscious property design that incorporates the exterior elements a homeowner would enjoy living with while preserving the habitat of wildlife. I help clients design and visualize the finished product beginning with the concept of how they want to live with the land. We start by discussing, suggesting and brainstorming what elements are important to the client. Taking the natural contours and existing environment into account, we then redesign the property, putting them together in a way that blends in with the surrounding nature and terrain, supports wildlife habitat, is aesthetically pleasing, environmentally sustainable and highly functional.

Example of design elements are:

• Property Layout

• Grand property entrances and Driveway design

• Wildfire preparation

• Retaining walls, elevation changes, grading and drainage

• Wildlife habitat preservation and restoration

• Planting areas, gardens, beds, Ponds and watering systems

• Hot tub areas and Tennis courts

• Patios and Walkways

• Outside cooking and Sitting areas and Pergolas and Gazebos

• Project Management
