"The ideally conceived project is one in which the ideal program functions are conceived in awareness of the highest potential of the site and in which both are realized and dramatized together . . . " John Ormsbee Simonds, Fellow, American Society of Landscape Architects. _________________________________________________________________________ About SED SED provides landscape designs and cost estimates for private residences, commercial properties, parks, and equestrian sites.

Projects can include new construction, additions, expansions, and restorations. Project scope can vary from small homes to large estates. There are many landscaping styles to choose from and a close working relationship with the client is paramount.
Commercial landscape design includes master landscape planning for multi-home community development and landscape designs for commercial and industrial buildings. We believe that commercial landscape designs, particularly in urban settings, should blend natural beauty with functionality for personal year-round enjoyment. Close coordination with city ordinances also plays an integral role in the design process.
Our urban constraints welcome new parks, their preservation, and restoration. Key factors in park landscape design are functionality, topography, circulation, natural features, safety, active and passive recreation, to name a few. Miniature parks have been proven to enhance the quality of life in urban settings. Building or renovating an equestrian site can be a major expenditure in terms of money, land, and time. Therefore, it is important to do it right the first time. SED is experienced in equestrian activities and utilizes a systems approach to develop the master equestrian landscape design plan. This assures that clients will be provided a landscape design that best expresses their vision and desires and is functionally and aesthetically optimized.
Our staff has provided hundreds of cost estimates, in excess of $30 million annually, for residential and commercial landscaping projects. We believe this is a critical service to clients in order that they are aware of the costs prior to authorizing landscaping construction go ahead. This service is available to clients whether or not we are involved in the design or landscape project management. We don't want you to make a mistake and end up with cost overruns. _________________________________________________________________________ Our systems approach addresses the many possible combinations of major planning elements: goals, facility components, and site characteristics. A large number of options and challenges result. This inspires imagination and a creative response from our firm.
