"Great workmanship from Jerry and his team. Our front porch looks great. All work was done, there was good communication, the work space was cleaned up and covered each evening. High quality team and work."

Architecture
"Franziska worked with us to design a transformation of our three story 1868 workers housing building with many small dark rooms into a stunning open and bright home for us and a small apartment for us to rent. Her knowledge of natural lighting is superb. We now have morning sunlight pouring from one end of our house to the other from early Fall to late Spring. This really brightens our spirits daily and I never would have thought of it. She was a pleasure to work with. I'm very detail oriented and in some cases, particularly both kitchens, I spent a lot of her time suggesting different options. She never became impatient and the results of our exchanges was always better than what I'd had in mind. She is also particularly good at making small spaces function and feel as if they are much larger. The apartment is only 400 sq ft and yet it gets rave reviews from our tenants. Franziska is also very knowledgeable about retrofit energy conservation. She cut our energy use to less than half of what it was."

Conclusion
A landscape architect is often confused with a landscape designer, but there are differences between the two. While both are involved in designing landscapes and gardens, a landscape architect is also trained in handling challenging issues like steep slopes, irrigation and drainage, elevation problems, retaining walls, driveways, service lines, and entryways. Landscape architects are required to be licensed and hold undergraduate or higher degrees and often plan areas other than residential spaces including parks, waterfront developments, and commercial facilities.
