PRINCIPLES
The quality of our work is directly related to the excellence of our staff and our commitment to communication with our clients. At LDG, the following principles guide our work on every project:
-
we work to understand the site and the goals, schedule and budget of the client before beginning the design process
-
built elements and planted elements are equally important in a designed landscape, and the relationship betwen the two is critical in creating functional & aesthetically pleasing landscapes
-
constructive communication with architects, engineers, contractors, builders & developers is an essential component of our projects
-
landscapes and buildings have a fundamental relationship that will be addressed in the design work
-
every designed landscape must have a sound drainage strategy
