## About

Full service Landscape Architectural design and consulting firm. 
I have been helping clients create memorable gardens for over 25 years.
 I provide design services from initial schematic master plans through construction detailing/permitting, as well as construction observation and bidding administration services.  I work with residential home owners, commercial businesses, public agencies, institutions, non-profits, etc.  I employ a collaborative approach with every project, working closely to insure my client's needs and vision are implemented. 
Through careful evaluation and communication, I identify the unique and distinct qualities of each site, client, and their program. An acknowledgement of a garden's natural and built features, location, and micro-environment is then utilized to create a design to meet and exceed client goals. I recognize the potential in every project to maximize the experience for all users.

### All 3 reviews

**★★★★★ — Pamela Steunenberg, April 2018**

> Molly was a pleasure to work with. She listened to what we wanted and followed through each step for he way.

**★★★★★ — hpkastner, June 2017**

> We love our garden! It's been 3 years and the landscape is beginning to mature. We have a rain garden with basins for enjoying the rain from indoors, filled in now with the plantings. Molly listened to what we wanted and took us from zero plants (well, grass) to a lush yard with rain garden, terrace & walks, NO grass, fruit trees, and screening plants. Not to mention a duck yard; we are your typical eclectic customer! Molly helped us with all sorts of ideas that we hadn't considered.

**★★★★★ — Chuckanut Builders, April 2014**

> As a general contractor, we have had the pleasure of working with Molly on two jobs to date, and have been consistently impressed.  Molly has a deep understanding of sustainable design, native plants, and designs projects that are practical to build.  She also has a great aesthetic and is a fantastic communicator.  Highly recommended!

  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 5
  - Description: A complete garden remodel accompanied the construction of this brand new home built within the footprint of the original, poorly built cottage on the property. Strict lake shoreline regulations required primarily native mitigation plantings, and no additional impervious surfaces. All paving and decking allows for stormwater to percolate through infiltrating into the native soils. Designed for a busy family, the layout allows for safe navigation to and from the residence and lake on the steep lot…

  - Location: Bellingham, WA

  - Description: A front entry courtyard design was the focus of this landscape remodel. The new, walled space fulfills multiple goals: - screens views of the driveway from inside the house - is scaled for multiple uses (entertaining, quiet contemplation) - accentuates and enhances the modern architecture of the residence -creates a progression of experiences leading visitors to the front entry Located on the sunny, south side of the residence, the new courtyard functions as a true extension of the home.
