I believe a beautiful outdoor space does more than look good. It changes how you feel. My work draws on a background in landscape architecture and public health. What drives every project is the conviction that good design is good for you.
Every space is different. I pay close attention to materials, proportion, plant selection, and how a garden moves. Because the details are where beauty actually lives.
Good design lives in the specifics. Materials are at the heart of every decision. Their texture, weight, and how they meet one another sets the tone for the entire space. How a path draws you through a garden. Which plants hold their beauty through every season. I think about all of it.
I work closely with each client from the first conversation through installation. The goal is a landscape that feels inevitable, like it could only ever have been yours.
"I hired Dianne to design my landscape after being referred to her and she did not disappoint. She is great to work with! She listened well to what we hoped for and made very creative suggestions that met our target budget and look great. She thinks of all the details, kept us well informed during the process, was able to show us in 3D what she suggested, and came up with a beautiful design for our family. I would recommend her to anyone."
"Dianne put her creativity and pragmatism to work in developing a recently-implemented plan for our front, back, and side yards in Davis, CA. Her work reflected and extended our interests and ideas as she brought forward a range of solutions toward delivering a compelling concept that could be delivered within our price range. The resulting yard has made a huge difference in our lives.…" She selected plants that are easy to take care of yet provide continual year-round blossoming, creating an interesting and flexible canvas for our continued gardening efforts. She has turned our backyard into an engaging and interesting environment exceeding our expectations. She also was an excellent troubleshooter as the project was constructed, working effectively with the contractor throughout. I would highly recommend Dianne for both her landscape architecture and her attention to detail in monitoring construction."
