"In 2008 we hired Kapa to develop a garden plan for our new house on 11th Street. Kapa really knows our local
plants-their needs for sun and soil and water, and their color, size, and shape. She is very creative in arranging plants,
easy to work with, and dependable. Our needs and
suggestions were carefully addressed at all times. Her
blueprints were fabulous to both visualize how the plantings worked with our house and lot, and to guide our purchase of plants. Each section of our garden has some plants of interest year-round, and plants from one section are repeated in
another to give the gardenan integrated feel. Our small city lot has exploded with color and interest! In fact, in the summer of 2009 our garden was given an award from the Corvallis Commission on Civic Beautification and Urban Forestry for enhancing the beauty of Corvallis. We did the work, but Kapa provided the inspiration!

Whether you want to install the landscape yourself, or hire a landscape contractor, Kapa will develop easy-to-work-from, computer-drafted plans to fit your needs.
If you have a new home or want a complete renovation of your yard, you will want a comprehensive master plan. Your master plan will include:
• a clear layout plan
• a planting plan
• detail sketches or photographs
A layout plan is the floor plan for your yard. Patios, decks, sitting areas, planting beds and walkways all create this plan. The shapes of these elements, the materials that are used, and how they relate to each other, create the style and determine whether the spaces flow smoothly.
A planting design helps you select plants that will thrive in your yard, showcase your personal preferences and fit the style of your house. A plant list and planting guidelines are also included.
An hourly consultation at your home can give you just the inspiration you need to clarify your goals, get planting ideas for a small area, help with layout ideas, or jump-start your next landscaping project.
These illustrate the different elements in the design such as fences and pergolas.
These help to keep your landscape looking good.
