An award winning landscape designer, planner, and installer. My extensive interests are fueled by my love of design and belief that good design can improve the quality of life between humans and their built environment.
I’m also an innovative problem solver, a steward of the environment, applying technical skills and business knowledge to design and install superior, sustainable landscape and outdoor projects.
My designs are always intentional. A home and/or businesses landscape contributes dramatically to its appearance. When executed well, it creates a setting that compliments and enhances the architecture while blending and respecting the surrounding natural environment. Negative site factors are modified or eliminated and positive site factors are developed, extended, and accentuated.
This "master plan" approach results in greater value for you the customer, with an intentional and skillfully finished project. When finished, your landscaping should look like it was intended to be there.
Over 40 years of practical and professional experience in environmentally conscious outdoor creations. I’ve developed a high degree of inherent common sense, enabling effective communication with both public and professional communities.
I hold a 1993 Bachelor of Science Degree in Agriculture from South Dakota State University in Brookings, SD., majoring in Landscape Design.
My creativity and vision needed a destination, a place where it would be appreciated and make a difference for others. The landscape design education laid the foundation, now reinforced by decades of experience. Today, over forty years and hundreds of satisfied customers later, the passion has never been greater!
Call or email me today, to employ my education, experience, creativity and passion, so you too will become another extremely satisfied client!

The most expressive design can only start with a partnership between you the client and me the designer, working as a team, placing your ideas, preferences and prerequisites at the center of our relationship.
I will devote all of my abilities, rooted in decades of experience, along with an undeniable passion to create and deliver you a top-notch landscaping design; one which is delivered on time and within your budget.
A straight-forward step-by-step partnership approach to achieving this is illustrated below:
I will provide a friendly, professional estimate by discussing your options while noting the effects of certain choices and preferences on a project’s cost. To prevent the over-designing and over-building that often pervades the construction industry, I listen to your needs and provide a design to fit your budget.
I will expeditiously prepare a straight-forward and detailed proposal of proposed work and any available options. Finally, I feel so strongly about my commitment to you that my work is guaranteed.
