OUR PHILOSOPHY

 

Our approach is one of environmental care and consciousness.

We cultivate an extraordinarily respectful relationship to the land on which we work.

We don’t impose a stereotypical landscape or garden microclimate onto a piece of land where it wouldn’t fit. Landsculpt founder Deborah Walker has a remarkable ability to “read” a space with sensitivity and respect, and she approaches landscape design with a level of care and detail rarely seen elsewhere.

 

Everything has a relationship to everything else.

Environments evolve through observation. Your feedback and involvement is valued at all stages of the environment-creation process.

 

Environment-creation process

People often think landscape design is simply a matter of sketching out a design and replicating it. If that is your preference, we can provide a design and complete it. But usually, our environments evolve through observation, placement, and your involvement. We place plants and other elements organically, and your opinions — what you love and what you want — are a crucial part of the process. Nothing is set in stone (except the stones, of course -- but even 300-pound rocks can be moved, if need be).
 

About Us

​​

Landsculpt provides creative expertise in landscape design and construction. 

The firm specializes in all aspects of design, construction, maintenance, and renovation of residential, commercial, and public landscapes.

Landsculpt began its creative journey in the early 1990's by exploring the relationship between landscapes and the people who inhabit them. The early study served as the foundation for the designs of Landsculpt's founder, Deborah Walker

Set on the premise that a balanced environment has a positive effect on peoples lives and can serve to stimulate the imagination and open the heart, Deborah began to develop and produce a body of work. Her projects emphasize site sensitivity and the integration of the landscape and the architecture that exist together on the palette, showing meticulous attention to the details.

An undergraduate degree from California College of the Arts and a graduate degree from the University of Washington, Department of Landscape Architecture including a Certificate in Urban Design, Deborah has assembled a team of craftspeople who precisely interpret her designs and enhance the lives of those who experience these built and natural environments.
