About Us
A Native Californian, Alita Van Vliet has been designing landscapes throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Central Coast since 1984 and holds a degree in Ornamental Horticulture with an emphasis in Landscape Design. From the initial client design meeting, to the delivery of final plans, good communication with the client is essential. Using photos, design books, and client "images" and budget, she works to make each design unique to the client. As a free lance designer as well as working for several years within a Design/Build Landscape firm her experience has taken her beyond the generation of plans and into the construction aspects of the business. Key to a good design is knowing how the industry works and the costs related to the installation. She can offer an experienced eye and knows how to design within a budget, and offers preliminary cost estimates for the installation along with her plans.
