His degree in Landscape Architecture from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, coupled with driven and meticulous installation crews, make King’s Landscape Design the ideal team for any outdoor living project.
How do you tailor your designs or services to meet the unique needs of luxury homeowners?
After a comprehensive onsite consultation, we are able to evaluate the client’s needs, property, and budget. This provides the framework for each personalized design that complements the unique style of both the client and their home.
How do you maintain consistency and quality across different projects, while still ensuring that each project feels unique?
Though the general scope, style, and material selection differs from one personalized project to the next, every project is designed and installed with the same attention to detail that our clients have come to expect from our knowledgeable and experienced team of designers and craftsmen.
What role do you think landscaping plays in creating a cohesive luxury home experience?
The outdoor space should feel like an extension of the home. From front entrances and plantings to lighting and patio spaces, everything needs to complement each other in order to provide a cohesive, inviting, and comfortable luxury home experience inside and out.
What’s your process for selecting materials or finishes for a luxury project?
Typically, we look to the existing home’s architecture for design cues that we can translate into the outdoor living space. This can be achieved by complementing an architectural style, whether it be contemporary or Craftsman, or by matching existing colors and materials such as natural stone or brick.
