Services Overview
I offer a comprehensive blend of landscape architecture, environmental consulting, and specialized project support tailored to homeowners, contractors, builders, architects, engineers, developers, and attorneys. My work is rooted in more than thirty years of hands-on experience, supported by my background in ornamental horticulture, real estate, environmental law studies at Tulane University, and my service in the United States Coast Guard.

I provide international landscape design and site planning consulting services for expatriates, property owners, and project teams working outside the United States.

I provide early-stage planning, conceptual programming, and preliminary site layout for projects of all scales, with a focus on large or complex developments that require clear direction at the outset.
