Landscape architecture involves the creative arrangement of structures, circulation patterns, gathering spaces, and plantings into the undulating topography of Western North Carolina while minimizing environmental disturbance, being aesthetically pleasing, functional, and meeting government regulations.
Client collaboration is the starting point for any design project to ensure that the design meets the client’s programming needs, tastes, budget, and schedule. Most projects involve working on a design team with architects, engineers, and other specialists and coordinating with contractors during construction to ensure that the work is carried out according to plan.
