I have been working closely with friends and clients to site plan and design beautiful custom gardens and waterfalls in the foothills communities since 1977. After receiving my degree in landscape architecture, I interned and mentored under the distinguished Garett Carlson in Beverly Hills throughout the 1980s. Returning to the Auburn area in 1991, I have been creating magical and smooth-flowing gardens designed in harmony with the spacious and scenic backdrop of the varied environments in the Sierra Foothills.
The following pages will introduce you to some of those gardens and my design concept. The before-and-after pictures give you a sense of adaptability to varied landscaping challenges. The waterfall page shows a variety of soothing, falling water that appears to be emitting from an unknown natural source. The outdoor living page gives you insights into living spaces as an inviting and relaxing garden element.
Enjoy your walk through them, and please feel free to email me in Applegate, California, with any comments or questions.

My design philosophy is simple: we create the garden together.
By this I mean from the first consultation and walk-through, getting to know you is as important as fully comprehending the site and its potential.
First, I create an existing sheet of the site, including such things as the footprint of the residence, the existing plantings (trees, shrubs, lawn), grade changes, views, etc.
Then, using an experienced and discerning eye, I guide you through various uses of the space.
We will find solutions together that are both unique to the site and your own style, and the required elements of your garden.

Few things in life can compare to the soothing sights and sounds of moving water.
By utilizing natural boulders and spillways combined with creative plantings of dogwoods and blue cedars, my water features appear to cascade from an unknown source.
The following examples are a few of the waterfalls designed and constructed in the foothills.
A private tour of a garden including a waterfall may be arranged by appointment only.
Please contact me in Applegate, California, regarding any questions on the construction or possible location of your water feature.

There is no "typical" site.
Each site is unique and may require finding varied solutions that adapt to the grading and layout.
I take the time to find the solution that fits both you and the site.
