I started Andy Wilson Landscape Design in the Spring of 2008 to be able to work out of Salem and to have more flexibility. I have found that working for myself has greatly increased my quality of life as well as the quality of my work. Being a small company and my own boss I can focus completely on what is best for the client and their landscape.
From 2003 to 2008 I worked out of Portland for one of
the largest design/build companies in Oregon, creating hundreds of large and
small residential and commercial landscape plans. I also had the opportunity to
see those designs installed which was a great experience that taught me how to
design in a way that is both practical and cost effective.
I received my degree in Landscape
Architecture from the University of Idaho. That provided me with a strong
background in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) landscape graphics, large-scale master
planning, plant material, surveying, landscape history and theories, creating
construction documents and more. I was also able to study garden design in the
hill towns of Italy – what a great experience.
My interests are not only in
residential and commercial landscape design, but also in the art of golf course design. I
have had the opportunity to do some preliminary course designs and would love
nothing more than to one day design my own course.
My wife and I were both born and
raised in Salem and met in preschool. We currently live in South Salem with our
two sons. We are both avid golfers and play as much as we can manage with young
kids. I recently had the opportunity to create my own yard form scratch. It was
a wonderful experience and I enjoy every day coming home to a functional and
beautiful landscape. I look forward to working with you to make your own landscape something you can be proud of.
