Our Business Philosophy

To provide our customers with a thoughtful design based on what they want, not what Outdoor Architecture wants. • To treat every home and business as if it were their own. • To educate customers on their landscape and provide them with options. • To help clients make informed decisions. • To make landscaping functional. Your landscape design will incorporate traffic flow, children, pets and how your landscape will grow in years to come. • To have fun along the way.  

Our Design Philosophy

Outdoor Architecture owners Brian and Kelli Franklin admire and emulate their favorite landscape artists, Fredrick Law Olmstead and Beatrix Farrand .  

The Franklins’ design philosophy is to:

• Provide organic solutions to beautiful landscaping. • Combine art and science in the design process while making certain your landscape is visually pleasing, functional and ecologically-centered. • Provide designs that are simple, yet thought-provoking and elegant. • Listen to their clients and put their ideas into a vision on paper and in the ground. • Use native plants as much as possible. • To preserve what is on a site as much as possible.
