Bio
Karen Morby
Pam provides a commercial landscape architectural product equal to or better than the largest firm, with the personal attention to detail one only gets from a boutique. One doesn't expect a small shop to have the depth of experience with zoning, legal requirements, ADA. etc that PSLA offers. They understand and work professionally with the complete, extended team on a development; ownership, construction management, G.C's architects, engineers, contractors, inspectors etc. It's rare to find an L.A. that understands so well how her product fits into the project overall. There is attention not just to the aesthetic, but the horticultural - using plants that will keep the design thriving with the appropriate level of maintenance for the type of development. But perhaps the most amazing thing is that all of the above is done with designs that are fresh and unique. Pam really knows plants and how to make them work in the less than hospitable environment of a commercial project. I would recommend PSLA to anyone looking for a commercial or residential landscape architect
