Ever Green Landscape Architecture focuses on the balance of functional outdoor use and healthy site ecology. Offering start-to-finish designs for landscape and outdoor living, rendering services for existing designs, and creativity consultations for do-it-yourselfers, each project is designed, drawn, and modeled using human creativity and insight, not AI generation.
Our project and contract structure is a perfect option for Design/Build companies who need professional, functional designs and images to present to clients; independent installers needing design and visualizations for small projects; individual clients looking for design help; anyone needing a 3D model and images to bring an existing design to life.

For established design/build companies needing complete design services, or 3D visualization of in-house design projects:
We will work with your sales team and/or in-house designer to develop plans based on a more expansive project scope, including pools, hardscapes, structures, kitchens and other amenities. We can also work with your team on building codes and permitting.

For installers and landscape teams who need design, visualizations, or material estimation:
We'll work together to establish project parameters and budget constraints, working with you to produce a plan and imagery to help sell the design to your clients. This can include 2D and 3D images, material lists and quantities for pricing, with clear and concise details and installation instructions.

For anyone needing design assistance on do-it-yourself projects or those with an installer:
We'll begin the design process with a phone or video call to discuss the project needs and budget. Site photos, satellite imagery, and some basic measurements allow us to develop a plan to fit your needs, and provide drawings and information that can be used to complete the installation.

With a background in the ecological sciences, Kara loves nothing more than creating a balance between the desires of each client and the health of the natural world. Starting with a conversation and a wish-list, Kara will work with each client to develop a plan that suits the needs and budget of every project.

Kara has worked in landscape architecture and design for over 20 years, and has a thorough knowledge of native and ornamental plants from all over the world. Working with the most up-to-date design and illustrating software, Kara approaches each project as a unique opportunity to create a stunning outdoor space.

Sustainability is the foundation of our practice. From the selection of plants and materials to the protection of pollinator health, our future is dependent on our connection with the ecology and health of our world. Kara is committed to a philosophy of promoting and protecting that balance.
