An entry- elaborate, or simple- is a critical site element. Here, an upscale residence presents a careful image to the street and protects the private spaces.

A thoughtful landscape organizes a site- telling pedestrians where to find the door, for example. Here, an elegant, informal deck of keystone with zoysia grout marks the entry to an Iyengar Yoga Studio.

What IS
Landscape Architecture?

The American Society of Landscape Architects (www.asla.org), devotes much thought- and space- to the subject:

Landscape Design, the historical core of the profession, is concerned with detailed outdoor space design for residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, and public spaces.

Many Landscape Architects limit their practice to planting design. We don't. We are trained land planners, and we know how to build things.

MSA Design has a vibrant practice in planting plans and related construction, some of which is represented here.
