Land Surveying

I have been impressed with your ability to communicate with lay people and sensitivity to the varieties of opinions and personalities encountered while working with municipal volunteers and community people.  Your patience with these people, and more particularly bureaucrats is especially laudable.

Land Surveying is a core focus of

Understanding the existing physical conditions and accurate boundaries of your property is a vital step in transforming vision into reality, and is essential for good design.

Planting within the project pursues multiple strategies including foundation planting, rain gardens, and community gardens. In addition, an arrival garden was designed and installed by the local gardening club.
