CASCADIA DESIGN
In 1982, I established Cascadia Landscape Design, a business specializing in whole system environmental design solutions for urban and rural settings.
To enhance your properties year round beauty,
interest and productiviity I incorporate edible ornamentals, native and drought
tolerant plants, and plants that attract birds and other wildlife. Through the design process I utilize an integrated approach taking into consideration
your unique property.

2. A detailed rough sketch, not to scale, indicating all features and plants

Why have a planned landscape?
An organized plan offers you the opportunity to:
- Select plant varieties and structures that work well for your location.
- Install your landscape in phases, as your time and budget allows.
- Extend the living space of your home.
- Avoid costly mistakes.
- Increase your property's value.
What is a Landscape Design?
A detailed design is a refined blueprint plot plan of your property.
This map:
- Includes
a'bird's eye view' drawing
of your property with exact
placement of structures and plants. - Provides
the use of phase planning
as time and budget permits. -
Helps avoid costly mistakes at
building and planting time.
As
part of the design, a plant information booklet is provided. This detailed booklet
covers approximately 15 areas of importance for most plants sited on your property.
Soil, light, and water requirements, bloom time, fragrance, type of fruit,
maintenance information, and general remarks are some of the areas included in
this list.
