Inventory & Analysis
We always start with the bigger picture. We identify regional ecological and cultural patterns that shape a site. We investigate site specifics.
Design Process
Anyone can have cool ideas for a site’s possibilities. Coastal Vista Design helps our clients figure out what it will take to get to the future we have in mind.
Concept Design
We listen. We align expectations. We develop programs in response to site ecologies, regulatory environments, and construction constraints. We draw to understand you.
Hardscape Design
We draw useful, beautiful, buildable work. Every element of our designs is thoughtfully crafted to honor our materials. We collaborate to constantly improve the built environment.
Planting Design
We are known for our exquisite planting design. Our team’s roots in design-build and the horticulture industry equip us with the ability to propose surprising and thoughtful interventions that become ever more beautiful with time.
Lighting Design
Light shapes how we as humans experience landscapes. For us, everything starts with light.
Design Visualization
At Coastal Vista Design, each team member is an artist. Our media differ slightly but each team member pioneers different forms of visual expression. We turn those individual talents to envisioning the possibilities of our projects.
Construction Administration
For select projects, we are able to extend our services beyond design to include construction administration.
Management Resources
Landscapes are the only construction project that improves with time
Coastal Resilience
We’re water people. CVD's designers all grew up in landscapes deeply shaped by water. We continue to live and practice in these situations. The edge of the sea brings particular challenges for construction and management – CVD has the experience to strategize for the specifics of each situation

The majority of our built work is in southwest Florida and the Caribbean. However, when we have an opportunity to work with a client that’s interested in coastal adaptive landscape architecture, we occasionally take on those projects. If you you’d like to collaborate, go to work with us. Our design team will review and get back with you if the project is a good fit for our studio.
Coastal Vista Design is a landscape architect-forward studio. We work across scales, from site analysis and planning to site scale design. We collaborate frequently with teams including architects, civil engineers, and other design disciplines.

Coastal Vista Design provides coastal adaptive design services. We do not construct or install projects. We work with a network of contractors in our primary service area that we can recommend based on your project’s needs. We are happy to match our clients with the best contractors and installers for their projects. If you have trusted relationships, we are willing to work with your preferred contractors if their skills fit the proposed project.
Construction administration is a specific set of services that we provide for select projects - see Construction Administration.
Our projects aren’t “plant it and forget it”. We expect active management for long-term success. All of our sites are designed for appropriate maintenance to achieve the project’s desired design function. If maintenance is a primary concern, we can incorporate that aspect early in the design process. We can provide management support with walkthroughs and maintenance manuals to give your landscape care team the autonomy to make on-the-fly decisions that support design intent.
