Our Mission
Design Custom Landscape Solutions that Work

My goal is to provide clients with a design experience that helps fulfill the vision for their landscape. I work to achieve this by learning about their life style, how they work, play and relax. I want to make the design experience easy, so they can spend less time spinning wheels and more time enjoying their custom outdoor space.

Bio

David E. Burton - Landscape Designer

My interest in the field of Horticulture and Landscape Design grew from the many hours spent working with my grandmother in her extensive gardens designed by my great grandfather. This family love of gardening and design led me to Virginia Tech where I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Horticulture and a focus in Landscape Construction and Residential Design. 

While at Virginia Tech, I explored many gardens up and down the East Coast, expanding my concept of how outdoor space can be both functional and beautiful. After two trips to Europe, visiting some of the most renowned gardens on earth, I settled into my career with a broader view of landscape design. My plant knowledge, design technique and hardscape expertise are grounded in over 15 years working in the landscape industry. These experiences give me the tools necessary to provide a comprehensive design unique to each client's site challenges, desires and goals.

Project Management

Once we have provided you with a design, we have the technical know how to help you implement that plan.  We can visit your project and help you or your landscaper layout the patios, planting beds or individual plants.  We can answer questions and provide technical data to make sure your project is done right the first time.

Lighting

Outdoor lighting helps to extend the enjoyment of your landscape investment into the night.  In Vermont we have long nights in the fall and winter and lighting can accentuate the form of your trees and the textures of your hardscapes giving you that warm glow when you drive up on a dark evening.  With LED landscape lighting you can get a great impact with minimal investment.

3D Rendering

3D renderings of your design help you to envision the project before the first shovel goes in the ground.
