Walk
Read grade, drainage, weather, views, use, access, and the useful accidents already present.
Studio / landscape design and construction
Read the
ground first.
Light, grade, water, movement, material, and what already belongs shape the first line.
One practical process
Design and construction stay close enough that the idea can survive the site.
Frame
Choose one strong spatial and material idea, then test it against budget and construction.
Build
Coordinate the work close to the ground, where real dimensions and decisions appear.
Tend
Plan establishment, maintenance, succession, and the way the landscape changes over years.
Material position
Fewer moves. More weight.
Stone, steel, water, shade, and planting are not decorative inventory. Each material earns its place by shaping movement, microclimate, use, or time.
