OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY:

The profession and practice of Landscape Architecture is a blend of science and art -- creating solutions to man’s need to use and enjoy the created world. Every design situation of any magnitude is the creation of scenery and the arrangement of a place.

Every design solution should compose something that is unique to that place or situation. There is not one unique solution to every place or situation, but every place is unique in its own way. Every design for a landscape should respond to what is special about that place. Just as every child is created uniquely to him or herself, so should every place be a reflection of its own characteristics and geography.

At Owens Environmental Design, we believe that good design on the land presents varied enjoyment of the elements of the place. Good design provides varied experiences that build on each part of the designed place – and should create an experience that expresses an interesting but subtle whole. Every part of a landscape should contribute to what it becomes in the design process – what is below, above and on the earth are a part of the design elements.
