Jay Lawrence

Principal Designer

Jay was first drawn to landscape design because of his interest in plants, architecture and a desire to improve his own outdoor space after becoming a homeowner.  However, through his study of landscape design at Portland Community College, Jay quickly realized he also had an affinity for the more technical aspects of design. He was drawn to the construction of landscape features as well as the way people move through and utilize spaces.  Jay strives to create beautiful, functional landscapes enhanced by contemporary planting plans and integrated landscape lighting.  Jay lives in North Portland with his wife and two dogs and enjoys working in his own garden and on woodworking projects.
