Variegated Terra is a landscape design and development service based in Leavenworth, WA.

My goal is to work with home owners to create custom landscaping that enhances their home and reflects the diversity of our beautiful mountain environment. I am focused on plant based design, using perennials, shrubs and trees as the center pieces and forefront of the landscape. Creating minimal maintenance, no mow landscapes that enhance the property, use water wisely and benefit the health of our environment is paramount to my work.

My landscape philosophy is based on aesthetic, practicality and sustainability. I view residential landscapes as an extension of the home they surround and as part of the natural environment. Landscapes should feel welcoming and comfortable. They should be useful and enjoyable to the people who spend time in them the most. Landscapes should work with the home, surrounding lands and climate in order to thrive for many years.

Landscapes are not stagnant, they are an ever evolving aspect of your home, the neighborhood and the larger environment in which they exist. Plants grow, bloom, die back and change with the seasons. Landscapes can evolve as peoples needs and interests change. Proper design and planning can make what may seem like an overwhelming task less daunting. Planning landscape goals over a few seasons can achieve spectacular results while keeping costs and workload lower and spread out over time.

While some landscaping can take a large investment it does not have to break the bank. Small steps in an organized direction can lead to big rewards in the future. As a very DIY type of person, I enjoy supporting homeowners who are motivated to do their own work and expand their garden knowledge. I would love to talk to you about a project, large or small.

Let me help you achieve your goals.
