I am a registered landscape architect offering preparation of conceptual and detailed landscape plans. I am located in central North Carolina but it has been possible to exchange enough information through the internet at the link above, for me to help distant clients with sketches at the initial stages of a landscape design project; to explore solutions to existing site problems; or for guidance on areas affected by changes such as building renovations and expansions.

Recent digital projects may be found here: http://www.evocations.org/landscapedesign.html

Most "matured" work for office, campus, and commercial buildings would be hard to read as plans on the web (due to size reduction), but a few sample field photos are furnished below.

North Carolina projects began with the entry courtyard for the West Market Street United Methodist Church in downtown Greensboro, NC while employed by John V. Townsend and Associates. I later provided the master landscape plans for the Greensboro Historic Museum grounds and for medical and general office projects, portions of the Aqua Gardens (now Wet and Wild) water amusement park, nonprofit sponsored multifamily group homes and apartment complexes. Also long range repair and restoration studies for grounds upgrades at Claremont Courts housing project, Morehead Memorial Hospital, and the NC School of the Arts.
