Company Profile
Human Nature Landscape Design & Consulting brings a thoughtful, science-based approach to landscaping in Edmonds. Owner and designer John's background includes a B.S. in Agriculture and Biological Sciences - Landscape Architecture from South Dakota State University, earned in 1979. He established his practice in Colorado Springs before relocating and reopening in the Seattle area in 2000. This journey has cultivated a deep understanding of diverse ecosystems and climates, which he now applies to the unique Pacific Northwest environment. Specializing in residential design/build, the company focuses on creating functional and beautiful outdoor spaces through custom hardscapes, water and rain gardens, living walls, and water-efficient irrigation systems. Every project, from initial concept to final construction and ongoing maintenance, is managed with a commitment to sustainability, durability, and enhancing the natural beauty of your property.
Common Questions
How do you help Edmonds homeowners with common issues like storm debris and soil compaction?
We address these interconnected issues with a proactive, long-term approach. For storm debris, we incorporate strategic plantings and hardscape designs that manage water flow and minimize washout. To combat soil compaction—a frequent result of our wet climate and heavy equipment—we prioritize proper site preparation, use specialized techniques to aerate and amend soil, and select plant varieties with robust root systems suited to Edmonds' conditions. This foundation helps your landscape better withstand seasonal challenges.
What's included in your residential design/build process for a project like a new patio or retaining wall?
Our design/build process is integrated from start to finish. It begins with a consultation to understand your vision, site challenges, and budget. We then create a detailed design plan that may include elements like patios, walkways, or retaining walls. Once approved, our own skilled construction team executes the project, handling everything from excavation and drainage to the final installation of materials. This single-source responsibility ensures quality control, clear communication, and a seamless result tailored to your Edmonds home.
Can you design an irrigation system that saves water in our Pacific Northwest climate?
Absolutely. Our water-smart sprinkler design is a specialty. We assess your property's specific sun exposure, soil type, and plant zones to create a customized, efficient irrigation plan. We utilize technology like weather-based controllers and drip irrigation zones to deliver the right amount of water precisely where it's needed, reducing runoff and waste. This approach not only conserves a vital resource but also promotes healthier plants and can lower your water bills.
