Banyon Tree Design Studio is a design-only company working in conjunction with seasoned builders to bring your outdoor vision to life. Having trained as a landscape designer and an architect, Lisa strives to harmonize the urban landscape with the built environment. This is achieved through careful site analysis and architectural cohesion, functional program development, utilization of varied styles and material applications, and with planting plans that are aesthetically pleasing, adaptive to climate change, and earth friendly. Custom design elements include patios and hardscapes, walls, arbors, decks, fire and water features, outdoor kitchens, kid and adult-friendly recreational spaces, and areas for reflection and solitude. If you can dream it, we can bring it to life!

Lisa has the experience and ability to work with technically challenging project sites including small and urban lot locations, retaining walls and slopes, grading, drainage, critical areas, native restoration sites, waterfront adaptation, and stormwater management solutions. Well-versed as a team player, many Banyon Tree solutions are developed in conjunction with other design, engineering, and build professionals.

Lisa is a Certified Professional Landscape Designer (CPLD) and maintains an Architect license. She is a leader in the landscape design profession and has volunteered in many professional landscape association leadership roles, namely with APLD (Association of Professional Landscape Designers). She has taught landscape design classes at local community colleges and is a seasoned speaker and writer on the critically important value of utilizing comprehensive design principles and techniques.
