Following an extensive and thorough interview gathering information about your dream garden and landscape, Margaret creates a beautiful design. It will reflect your preferences and wishes in every way possible within the constraints of your budget. The professional design is based on the very best landscape styles that match your likes and avoids your dislikes.
Margaret will also train you how to care for your professionally designed garden. Because of her many years of experience doing professional designs, she can incorporate every kind of landscape feature you desire including, but not limited to:
- pathways,
- walls,
- decks,
- fences,
- gates,
- arbors,
- patios,
- trellises,
- pergolas,
- gazebos,
- lawns,
- garden rooms,
- seasonal interest,
- fragrant plants,
- favorite colors,
- cutting gardens,
- raised bed gardens,
- ponds,
- water features,
- fountains,
- lighting,
- irrigation,
- roof top gardens,
- garden sheds and cottages,
- and terraces
Margaret strives to enhance the beauty and energy of your landscape. Margaret will also work with you to bring about a professionally designed garden over time, doing a section at a time (if that is what you wish--selecting the most important areas first) or installing the structural plants for the entire garden first and then coming back the following season to install the remaining plants to complete the design. Some clients spread their professional design for their garden over several years, implementing new portions of the design each season in keeping with their financial resources and the time they have as "do-it-yourself'ers."
Margaret has a team of professional installers who respond well to her input for achieving the design vision: she has built great relationships with licensed landscaping professionals, arborists, architects, soils engineers, irrigation companies, outdoor low-voltage lighting companies, specialty pruning professionals, and many other highly talented artisans in landscape carpentry, masonry, and water features. She has also created professional designs for patio or roof-top gardens, using the latest technology to keep total container weight to a minimum, total water consumption to a minimum, and an incredible array of container styles.
The latest addition to the company is obtaining the license in Oregon as a Landscape Contracting Business and the license as a Construction Contractor. Along with her license as a retail Nursery provider, she is able to provide every possible aspect needed in your landscape.
The artistry of Margaret de Haas van Dorsser comes out in all of her professional landscape designs. One amazing aspect of her work is the ability to do "on-site" professional design procuring the plants and placing them in gorgeous vignettes, each one fitting exquisitely within the overall professional landscape design. She, of course, can also work from her own professional landscape drawings.
