Background

About Nathan Marcusen

Nathan Marcusen believes three things: a landscape designer acts as a steward of the Earth, good design seeks to elevate the industry, and a landscape should be inheritable. Stewardship over the Earth is a conscientious approach to meeting client’s needs and society’s needs at large, while preserving natural processes. Designs elevate the industry by not using the same 10 plants in every design, incorporating native and xeric elements of the surrounding area, and providing information to clients on how to make more environmentally sound plant choices. Inheritability is the future sustainability – allowing your children and grandchildren to enjoy the seeds you planted. These three elements work in tandem to inform each of Nathan’s designs, interactions with clients, and progression in the design industry. No matter the project, client, or personal interaction Nathan makes decisions consistent with these values and experiences. As a member of a design team, he brings a depth of knowledge and a conscientiousness unmatched by peers. He lives for cutting edge design, unique approaches to the usual problems and has found the best source of inspiration is Nature herself nathanmarcusen.com
