Statement of Belief
All
gardens, whether a small courtyard or a large rural acreage,
are a reflection of the owner and the Landscape Architect.
The garden must suit the needs and wishes of the owners
interpreted by the artistry and skill of the Landscape
Architect.
A Personal Approach
Victoria Lister Carley established her firm in 1983 to
develop her personal approach to Landscape Architecture.
Trained as a visual artist and as a Landscape Architect, Ms.
Carley is also an active environmentalist. Her work combines
the evocative and emotional qualities of a painting with a
sensitivity for the environment.
Landscape Architecture Services
Victoria Lister Carley's services include all aspects of site and garden
design from the very practical such as site services,
grading plans and site drainage, siting new houses and
accessory buildings, driveways and parking areas, large
structures such as tennis courts and swimming pools, and the
design of decks and patios. Her planting
designs demonstrate a painterly combination of colours and
textures and incorporate native plants within a
traditional garden vernacular.
She is personally involved in
all phases of the design and installation of the project.
Her commitment to the garden as it develops from an idea, to
a work on paper, through the stages of construction and
planting until it becomes a living space for the owners,
allows her to develop gardens which are rich in detail yet
functional for everyday living. |
