Artichoke Design, LLC
Landscape Architecture
215-646-4418
We create plans for beautiful and functional outdoor
living spaces.

We are a Landscape Architecture Company.
There are several reasons you should hire a
landscape architect rather than a landscape designer.
Experienced and Licensed Landscape Architects:
  • Must complete a 4-year undergraduate program, a 2-year
    apprenticeship, pass a 5-day exam and once licensed, must earn
    continuing education credits each year to maintain their license
  • Are trained in environmental issues, stormwater management and
    human behaviors, as well  as have extensive design experience in
    these areas
  • Are licensed to submit grading plans as well as sedimentation and
    erosion control plans needed for township permits
  • Are experienced in designing to reduce water needs for the
    landscape and to increase energy efficiency for the building by
    creating a unique site layout and planting design for each project

Our services:
We design hardscapes such as plazas, patios, walls, walkways, travertine
patios; formal or natural water features; fireplaces or firepits; lighting
design for safety and to accentuate the architecture and plantings; correct
any drainage issues;......and we can design planting plans for year-round
interest

Artichoke Design provides detailed plans that you can show to different
contractors to find the right company for your needs.   We can help you
evaluate and select contractors, and will oversee construction if you wish.

Since we sell plans not plants, we do not have the bias that for example a
nursery may have -  limiting its designs to the plants and material stocked
in its yard.

Process:
Begin with a one-hour Consultation at the site, $125 for idea-sharing and a
quick sketch with plant ideas.

Preliminary Plans include up to three designs, color plans, perspective
views, formal plant list, approximately $1600*.

Construction Documents if needed,  approx. $1600*.

*Every project is different, some take more time than others, these prices
are approximate.

If you are interested in expanding your outdoor living or would like a
garden design for your residence, call us to start the process!  We work in
the greater Philadelphia area including the Main Line and Bucks County
and Montgomery County.
