Design Principles

Design is both an art and a science. Our designers’ knowledge combines the latest in horticultural advancements with an aesthetic sensibility for land forms and human structures, creating texture and layers that are visually striking and foundationally solid.

Our professionals can include you in each step of the process. We offer our expert analysis and recommendations, keeping in mind your goals as we work within your budget. We will provide imaginative and creative ways to design your landscape while enhancing its ecological health.

Design Process

We’ll start by meeting with you to discuss site characteristics, natural and cultural history of the area (for context), current uses of the property and intended uses going forward.

We will analyze the soil, look at topography, erosion patterns, and other relevant considerations. Then we’ll produce a working sketch that will be reviewed with you. Once we work through the possibilities, and you give us a green light, we will expedite the project to begin the construction as soon as possible.

Ecoscape’s designers take ownership of each project, coordinating installation crews to ensure that every detail is carried out. This results in a finely tuned and integrated flow of activity, from the initial design phase, through site survey, material selection, and installation. We consider the project finished only when you are fully satisfied.
