OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe a landscape should be a living work of art. Like any outstanding
painting or sculpture, an artful landscape should engage the senses,
delight the imagination, have memorable focal points and be something
of lasting and unique beauty. Because an individual landscape surrounds
and embraces a dwelling or commercial building, it needs to complement
and enhance that structure. Because it also serves as the outdoor living
space for the residents, the landscape needs to reflect their interests,
needs and sensibilities. And because a landscape is comprised of both
living plants and permanent elements, it needs to be designed with future
growth in mind.
At W. Christian Busk Landscape Architect Inc., we consider
both the science of growing and the art of design. From start to finish,
we take into account the personality of the client, the style of the
home, the climactic factors and the uses to which the property will be
put. This allows us to create a landscape of living, lasting beauty and
practicality, one that is as individual as you are.
OUR FOUNDER
W. Christian Busk, our firm’s founder and principal in charge
of project design and administration, is a licensed landscape architect
(ASLA) with more than 25 years of experience. A native of Florida’s
Palm Beach area, he attended the University of Florida, where he earned
a BS in both landscape architecture and horticulture. His background
and education give him a unique expertise in the art and science of
landscape design/development, as well as a keen familiarity with what
plants grow best in Florida’s subtropical climate.
Christian’s
experience in designing tropical outdoor pool spaces is well known
throughout Florida and in the Caribbean. He has led his company to
win numerous awards for landscape design, from such groups as the American
Society of Landscape Architects, the Florida Nurserymen & Growers
Association, the Southeast Builders Conference and the Collier Building
Industry Association. The firm’s outstanding work has been featured
in such publications as Southern Living, Florida Architecture; Home
and Garden; Gulfshore Life; Home and Condo; and Open House.
OUR SERVICES
At W. Christian Busk Landscape Architect Inc., the emphasis is on developing
a landscape design to suit the client’s needs, enhance the
physical structure and open the great outdoors to greater use and
appreciation. Drawing on the strengths and expertise of our architects
and designers, we create plans that develop vistas where they didn’t
previously exist, focus views where they are wanted and establish
a landscape rich in color and texture. We specialize in creating
memory points, relaxing gardens, sculptural swimming pools, inviting
gates, entryways and mood-enhancing lighting.
In 1988, concerned
that plans weren’t always carried out correctly, we established
Busk & Associates Landscape Contractors. This sister company
works hand in hand with a project’s general contractor to ensure
that the design on paper is what actually goes in the ground. The
team of talented design professionals is there from start to finish,
coordinating efforts between subcontractors and guaranteeing that
the final design is just what was desired.
Our Maintenance Division
was established to care for the landscape after completion and oversee
the continued growth and success of the landscape design.
