Ecological landscape & planting design
Sandbox Studio landscape design specializes in transforming challenging outdoor spaces for residential clients. I listen to your concerns, goals, and dreams, and evaluate the existing conditions on your site in order to design beautiful, functional, and ecologically beneficial spaces. My designs transform sites with steep slopes, drainage issues, small lots, little privacy, empty spaces, difficult access, and more into comfortable spaces you will enjoy. I design both hardscapes (patios, decks, paving, steps, walls, etc), and softscapes (planting design, earth moving, etc). Unlike some other designers, I elicit feedback at multiple steps in the process, preferring not to surprise clients with landscape features they didn't ask for and don't need. Together, we can create a beautiful, sustainable landscape or garden for your property!
