Ecological Landscape Design & Meadow Services
Since 1998, I've dedicated myself to creating landscapes that harmonize with nature while meeting clients' aesthetic, functional, and budgetary needs. My approach integrates ecological principles with hands-on expertise developed through transforming my own 4-acre property from a degraded farm field into a thriving wildlife habitat. With a B.S. in Horticulture from Temple University and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Iowa State, I combine technical precision with environmental stewardship to design outdoor spaces that evolve seasonally and support biodiversity.My work spans residential, commercial, and public properties, emphasizing native plants, sustainable practices, and spaces that extend living areas into the outdoors. Whether clients seek DIY guidance or full-scale master plans, I provide tailored solutions that avoid costly mistakes through detailed design documentation and ongoing support.
