John TateLandscape Architect/Project Manager
John’s varied interests have fostered his reputation for out of the box thinking, weaving value into any scale project or budget beautifully. John grew up in the Delaware Valley, inspired by regular visits to the nearby Dupont Estate gardens of Longwood, Winterthur and Nemours. Always outdoors, an Eagle Scout, John was destined to study Landscape Architecture at Penn State and was licensed three years after graduation.
Nearly forty years later, having logged over 50,000 miles traveling the South and reporting on garden design for Southern Living magazine, designing and building projects in eleven states and four countries, John is finally ready for your project. He holds a Certified General Contractor license in Florida. John lives with his “most challenging” customer, a college professor, working on their ever-evolving Odessa backyard. When he steps away from design, he enjoys tinkering with his ’89 Alfa Romeo, dabbling in fiction writing, or exploring the rain forests of central Costa Rica. |
