About Lakamas Landscape Design

At Lakamas Landscape Design, our work begins with a love of beauty and a respect for the living systems that shape the landscape. We create gardens and outdoor spaces that are visually striking, richly layered, and full of life—places that engage the senses and evolve gracefully over time. While beauty is always our first priority, every design we create is grounded in strong horticultural and ecological principles.

Our lifelong fascination with plants began in childhood and grew into a professional pursuit, leading to a degree in Ornamental Horticulture, specializing in Landscape Design. What began as curiosity became a calling when we were first asked to design a garden for someone who recognized my plant knowledge and design sensibility. That experience sparked my commitment to creating landscapes that unite artistry, science, and purpose.

 

We specialize in high-end residential landscapes, larger estate gardens, and select commercial or public sites that call for a thoughtful, cohesive design vision. These projects often involve complex site conditions, multiple stakeholders, and the integration of architectural, horticultural, and ecological systems. For smaller properties, we apply the same depth of expertise and care, ensuring every project—large or small—receives the same level of attention and artistry.

 

Each design begins with listening. We work closely with clients to understand how they want to live in their spaces and how the landscape can enhance that experience. Our goal is to create landscapes that are timeless, functional, and deeply connected to both the site and the people who inhabit it.

 

Jonna says “Early in my career, I worked at a local native plant nursery, gaining extensive experience with regional species and how they blend beautifully with ornamental plants. This knowledge allows me to select plants that thrive in our Pacific Northwest climate, emphasizing performance, texture, and ecological value.

 

As a member of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD), I’m committed to design excellence, sustainability, and professionalism. Ongoing education through APLD ensures my work reflects the latest thinking in planting design, environmental responsibility, and sustainable materials.”
