Landscape Design
I believe landscapes should nurture more than just beauty; they should support the health and well-being of people, plants, and the surrounding ecosystem. Much like holistic medicine, my approach integrates all aspects of the environment to create outdoor spaces that are both functional and restorative.
With nearly two decades of experience in landscape design and project management, I offer comprehensive services ranging from minor garden updates to fully customized outdoor living spaces. I work with clients in the Jacksonville, Florida area and throughout the United States to bring their visions to life.
My deep knowledge of regional plant palettes, strong relationships with trusted local contractors, and commitment to sharing sustainable landscape practices ensure that your space not only looks excellent but thrives for years to come.

"“I can't say enough good things about David and Township Design. I appreciate finding a company and person who is upfront, honest, and willing to go above and beyond. The designs he provided us are amazing, and he was able to consider many things, as well as suggesting additional information or feedback that we didn't think of. The assets he provided for plant selection were also invaluable and greatly appreciated.”"

Consultation
The first step of the design process is the initial landscape consultation. In this meeting, I will discuss your project with you, your likes and dislikes, make suggestions regarding layout and design elements, answer any questions you might have (about everything from pools to pergolas as well as the landscape design process), and get to know you a little better before any design work is started.
Site Analysis
The next step is to conduct a site analysis, considering the existing landscape, shade, shadow patterns, wind exposure, and views, among other factors, to inform the preparation of the landscape plan. We will also discuss example projects, view photos, and note existing hardscape and plant material. This understanding of the site will serve as a backbone of knowledge for the remainder of the design.
Concept Design
One or more concept plans will be created to provide you with visual layouts that outline our ideas, combined with your requests and preferences, in various formats. We will meet to review these concepts and discuss proposed plant materials, hardscape, lighting, and site furnishing options, giving you a feel for the space and the opportunity to select materials that appeal to you.
Final Design
The final step in the design process is to assemble all elements that appeal to you in one or more concept plans and prepare the final Landscape Master Plan. The plan includes botanical and common names, quantities, sizes, and maintenance guidelines. Since you own these plans, you can now get competitive bids for installation.Â
Installation
Offered as a local service to the Jacksonville, FL area, when you're ready to implement your project, I'll be with you every step of the way, from the estimate process to the observation of your design's installation. The best results are achieved when I manage my landscape projects and collaborate with landscape contractors from start to finish, ensuring your design vision is executed as intended. Every landscape contractor I partner with is fully licensed, bonded, and insured.
The following are additional steps in our standard design process to ensure you get the best level of service possible.
Design Proposal
After the Landscape Consultation, I will send a digital copy of the design proposal to get started. It will include everything you need to visualize the design and build your outdoor improvements. Once you have reviewed the proposal, I can address any questions you may have and make adjustments accordingly. Once you agree, you can sign and date the proposal digitally.
Design Questionnaire
Creating a design you'll love starts with a few simple questions! Before we begin, I kindly request that you complete a brief Project Questionnaire regarding your landscape design. These questions, compiled from hundreds of past projects, represent my attempt to gather as many details as possible before starting. Your answers will help me understand how best to create the design of your dreams. Once I receive your completed questionnaire, I will contact you to discuss your answers.
Pinterest Image Board
What is Pinterest, you ask? Think of it as a library of images for your project, with millions of indoor and outdoor photos. You can browse and save any image that resembles what you want to create in your landscape. In my experience, these image boards have been beneficial during the project's Program and Schematic Design phases and have proven invaluable for my client's ability to visualize the end goal of each part of their design.

"We worked with David & Township Design for the first time on a Commercial Facility in the Denver Area. Township Design was very knowledgeable about the City & County of Denver SDP and Permitting process, and streamlined the review. A very responsive landscape firm that we would work with again!"

"Township Design was a godsend! We have been in our home for a year, but with much to do, we desperately needed direction. David was extremely detailed in planning our fully landscaped yard, new driveway, front walk, fence, irrigation system, and overall makeover. We are currently on a tight budget, and David carefully walked us through each phase of the project, keeping this in mind through the process. There is plenty (if not 100%) that we could do on our own if we choose. David’s plans were specific enough, however, that if we chose to have the work completed by a professional landscaping company, we certainly could. We can't wait for the transformation to enjoy our time outdoors truly! Thank you again, Township Design, for clear direction and peace of mind!"

"My husband and I are very impressed with the exceptional service we received from Township Design. Our designer, David, came up with a layout that was both creative and functional, incorporating all of our requests and ideas, and then added a few fantastic extras we never would have thought to ask for. We also appreciated how he integrated all local plants and grasses into our design to make it more sustainable and efficient. It has been a great experience, and we are so excited to see the finished product!"

"Excellent! We approached David with a desperate need to undo the damage that 20+ years of neglect had done to our property. I was very optimistic about the outcome, but I had no idea just how good it would be. Not only did David build from what we were looking for (low maintenance, low water consumption, and interesting year-round appeal), but he also provided solutions for issues we never dreamed of addressing with vegetation. During David's first visit to our home, he saw our neighbor (who isn't nearly as stealthy as he thinks he is) hop over our fence to get back home after taking a shortcut across our backyard. David's plan incorporated a very thorny rose bush to reduce the traffic across our backyard significantly. David was a true professional who was very attentive to our needs, even beyond the obvious. I would recommend him to anyone, especially our neighbor, after he promised to incorporate tons of roses along his side of the fence. Thank You, David and Township Design."
