Design does matter. Creativity profoundly touches our lives in every aspect, consciously or otherwise.

dba land planning + design is about a celebration of the infinite possibilities that creativity offers.  We believe in striving to attain aesthetic ideals of beauty, of habitat, of ways to use space, and that to every problem there is an optimum solution.  In asking the right questions, and uncovering the right answers, the more completely that ideal can be achieved.  We understand that actions and reactions to the challenges of our environment need to be predicable and predictive to maintain a natural symmetry both aesthetically and environmentally. 

Our philosophy is reflected not only in design, but in the process by which it is achieved.  We approach design with inspiration and passion and a desire to ensure our designs work from every angle.  As much as the quality of the aesthetic is a key consideration in our work, it is matched by the aim of achieving sustainable, enduring, cost-effective solutions.  We do this by creative consultation, a process of mediating competing requirements, and mitigating problems with pragmatism and down-to-earth thoroughness.  We seek value for money by assessing that which is desirable, attainable and achievable.  Sustainable practices and principles lie at the heart of all our work, as does the interests of of our client.

We believe that if a project is to be successful, it must be approached holistically from the outset.  Long-term or temporary, high cost or low budget, in landscape design and planning, no project is too small to be handled with such an approach; and none are too large that it is not effective.
