​my background • jeanne lau landscape architecture was started in 2002 to focus on the design of landscapes for both residential and commercial clients. 

​

my inspiration • native Hawaiian, raised in Hawaii and educated and at home in California, I am inspired by the beauty of the land around me with its unique habitats, microclimates and plants.  I try to infuse my designs with this appreciation and sensitivity to the land to promote sustainable design principles in every project.  I enjoy helping people to create their dream gardens and restorative spaces by listening and translating their thoughts into  unique design solutions for healing sanctuaries. 

​

my process • I meet with clients to review their site and design concerns. It is a collaborative process and enables me to develop their design program and landscape master plan to fit their needs and create attractive enjoyable outdoor spaces. 

​

During design development I weave together design elements -  architecture, fountains, pools, paths and patios with the textures, colors and fragrance of plants, to create memorable sustainable gardens.

​

I work in association with many local landscape contractors  to construct my designs.
