Bird Focused Planting

Project overview

This project was especially meaningful, as the clients wanted to restore the bird-friendly landscape that had brought them together through their shared love of birdwatching over 30 years ago. As they entered retirement, their goal was to create a peaceful outdoor sanctuary that would attract a variety of bird species. Although the original design evolved throughout the process, we incorporated an even greater selection of bird-friendly plants to encourage biodiversity and seasonal interest. The resulting landscape was thoughtfully designed to celebrate their lifelong passion and provide a beautiful retreat for years to come.

Details

I met with the clients multiple times to discuss plant selections and guided them through a nursery tour to explore potential options firsthand. With a clear understanding of their preferences, I developed a thoughtful and cohesive planting design. I also oversaw the coordination and scheduling of the installation crew to ensure the project was executed according to the design plan.

Their satisfaction has also led to plans for an additional phase of landscaping in 2027, allowing them to continue enhancing their property and building upon the original design.
