Alder Landscape Architecture

Based in San Francisco Bay Area, Alder Landscape Architecture has been creating exciting landscape design since 1990. Mr. Rogers has been a partner and collaborated with some of the best residential designers in the Bay area. As an intern, he worked in Southern California and learned the design style that captured the attention of such famous clients as Mike Douglas, Cher, Don Rickles and Rona Barrett.

Alder Landscape Architecture is equally at home with commercial or residential projects. No project is too large or too small. Dense housing requires a special kind of planting allowing privacy yet an opportunity to experience nature. Let Alder Landscape Architecture provide you both! With a unique background in native plants and an especially insightful eye towards the environment, Alder Landscape Architecture can provide both attractive plans and the perspective of an environmental consultant to a restoration project.

Recently, low voltage landscape lighting has become even more efficient than before! Today, LED lights are available that use half the energy of halogen low voltage lights. LED lights are more expensive than halogen low voltage lights originally, however, over time they provide a cost savings after the second year.

The difference between a landscape designer and a landscape architect is substantial. Anyone can be a landscape designer but to be a Landscape Architect you must graduate from an accredited university, be an intern for a minimum of 2 years under the training of a Landscape Architect, and pass a test that lasts 3 days/ 8 hours a day before you may call yourself a Landscape Architect.
