>> I think that what I love most about what I do is the ability to connect both kind
of with the design aspects of thinking through things and how people experience faces,
and then being able to follow up that and oversee it and make sure
that that vision is implemented out into the landscape and that the user,
the general person goes out there, will experience it and think its--
feel really great about being outside and in the natural environment,
but not necessarily realize how difficult it was to achieve
that overall impact that we've created.
We try to plan and execute everything as drawn on the drawings; that never happens that way.
There's always change, unexpected things
that you just couldn't have understood necessarily whether it was
because of survey information of projects, or simply changes in the materials that
yet you're working with and constructing the landscape with.
Or that you get out and you're looking at how you envision these projects and on a project
that is a scale of 24 acres/25 acres to be able to fully document it and have it designed
out on paper every little detail, is-- it can be challenging sometimes,
and you realize when you're out there and working with the contractor
that there's some better ways of doing it.
There are things that just may have been omitted because it's such a high level of detail,
like sometimes it can't be flushed out completely.
