DPL Biography

“Many people who… wish to do some practical gardening are at their wit’s end to know what to do and how to begin. Like a person who is on skates for the first time, they feel that, what with the bright steel runners and the slippery surface and the sense of helplessness, there are more ways of tumbling about than of progressing safely in any one direction…” Gertrude Jekyll, English landscape designer and writer, 1899.

When you need help in landscape design and planning, Landscape Planning & Design can help you skate straight and true to your own path. It does not matter if you have a small front-yard planting or a large, many acre site, I can help you design and plan your ideal custom landscape.

They say that a landscape is the setting for the jewel that is your house. Homeowners know that a well-designed landscape can make your yard more usable and attractive throughout the year. And, you may already know that that quality landscaping (a good curb appeal) will raise the value of your home by over 10 percent.

I would like to work with you to create a new landscape for your home or rejuvenate an existing landscape to better reflect your personality and needs. You can use the design that I come up with to do your own installation (I can help get you started there), or it can be used to have installation done by a professional landscape contractor (I can help you there too). The initial visit is free with no obligation to you.

This website is designed to help you make decisions about your landscape design and planning. The site is not static, and will change and update to meet your needs.

No obligation, no conditions, just doing our part for the environment.
