a licensed landscape architect, the practice focuses on providing high quality

Peaks to Plains Design specializes in the creation of outdoor spaces. Whether it is the conservation of existing space, such as parks or historic sites, an enclosed courtyard with seating, water features and gathering areas, or a linear space such as a highway or a trail, our firm can create a successful solution. We utilize several tools in our palette including plant materials to define spatial boundaries and stimulate visual and olfactory senses. Interesting paving patterns and other
hardscape materials can enhance how and the rate of which people use the space. Effective site planning including building placement, layout and grading can influence circulation throughout the space. Unique site furnishings and art placement can define the individuality of a space, and with proper placement, make the area a destination for all.
Whether functional or aesthetic, Peaks to Plains Design creates valuable outdoor space through comprehensive planning services, by collaborating with architects and engineers, providing public facilitation and education, establishing guidelines, conducting visual assessments, and providing ecologically appropriate environmental design and restoration.
But most importantly, the firm designs creative solutions that are cost effective
and technically feasible.
We use the latest in computer technology including AutoCad, Microstation, and desktop publishing applications. This, in combination with perspective sketching and rendering, provides effective communication to clients and other professionals.
