MARGOT M. ANDERSON holds a California state license in Landscape Architecture and a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Planning and Management from UC Davis. An award-winning landscape architect, Margot is a professional member of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA).

Margot works with homeowners, architects, engineers, licensed contractors, artists, environmental specialists, horticulturalists and arborists. She is a hands-on professional; enjoying the field process as much as the studio design work.

“A great design can only evolve with the careful evaluation of a site’s limitations and attentive listening to the client's desires. By addressing these initial tasks successfully you become equipped to take full advantage of your opportunities.

As a landscape architect, I look forward to the great variety of challenges and tasks which come along with creating beautiful and interesting outdoor solutions.

As an artist, my goal is to transcend the sciences that landscape architects employ for proper function and produce works that are truly engaging and unique. I’m always working toward cohesiveness and flow within the surroundings through an artful division of space, the utilization of color and materials and the proper selection of plantings.

With an engineer’s sensibilities, I am dedicated to designing spaces that will last well over time. It is crucial to specify quality materials, utilize complementary trained professional expertise as needed, and insist on careful execution and quality in construction. “
