What We Do
End-to-End Outdoor Solutions
Landscape Architecture
Services include consulting, CAD, conceptual designs, sketch-up and planning services. All landscape planning begins client intake, a property analysis and a responding theory of change to invoke landscape creativity and evolution of use.
Project Management
Michael brings thirty plus years of diverse design work and site work to a highly articulated level of project implementation and management. Large- and small-scale projects range from residential installations to large land development projects.
Geomancy
Geomancy Certification and practice represents a multidisciplinary knowledge system of land energy analysis and remediation that applies to all natural and built systems. It has roots in every human culture and history. Feng Shui, Genus Loci and Water Dowsing represent some of its many forms.
INVASIVE PLANT MANAGEMENT
RI Certified Invasive Plant Management Certification promotes identification and treatment procedures for aggressive and exotic species. It also provides for expanded allowances in work permitted through the RI Coastal Resource Management Council.
