Landscape Architects are spatial problem solvers

Now more than ever, homeowners can benefit from a design professional's expertise.

Visual media has always been a source of ideas for both homeowners and architects and with the advent of websites that aggregate design possibilities, a homeowner is faced with an even wider array of attractive choices. Quickly a project can become an overwhelming undertaking.

A landscape architect helps homeowners take a step back, look at the big picture, and develop a planned and measured approach that incorporates their wish list of ideas. The landscape architect applies his or her experience to create a functional outdoor space that adds vitality, depth and visual curiosity, while being mindful of the client's budget and priorities.

“Charles is an inspired, creative thinker with an “end-to-end” understanding of landscape architecture… which means that in addition to a great, client-focused design, he thinks ahead to consider the effects of weather, landscape construction and even maintenance concerns years into the future.

Charles’ designs reflect his experience at a big firm in Atlanta where many disciplines interact, driven by relentless details, timelines and budgets. The rigor of that work combined with his years of local experience yield a wealth of know-how that always serves his clients’ best interests.

Recently, I spoke with a landscape construction firm owner. He said, 'We love his designs! They are incredibly detailed, thoroughly thought out and give us the information we need to get the job done right... the first time.'

I appreciate Charles' insights, and have referred him several times and will continue to do so without hesitation.”
