Mission & History

"One of the things I most enjoy is learning about what a person likes and who they are as people…then finding coherent ways to express that in the landscape…"
- David Rolston

Principal David Rolston’s work reflects both his passion for gardening and his genuine enjoyment of people and their unique tastes. Mr. Rolston became a registered landscape architect in 1982 and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Landscape Architecture from Iowa State University.

His keen interest in plants and a practical understanding of botany were developed early in life on the farm where he grew up. His inventiveness and passion for gardening finds expression in his landscape design through many of his choices, which often employ native plants, plants adapted to local conditions, and experiments with unfamiliar perennials.
