Why Hire Sandbox Studio?

I am at heart a problem-solver. I love to fix awkward, uncomfortable, or unusable spaces; solve stormwater issues including ponding, flooding, and erosion; improve ecological functioning and biodiversity; integrate indoors and outdoors; create beauty; and reconnect people to nature-all within your budget! I enjoy working past the obvious and envisioning three-dimensional solutions and design options that you may not have considered. I enjoy working on challenging sites with steep slopes, tricky grade changes, and constraints that daunt other designers. Hiring me to develop a concept plan for your property before spending money on individual projects will prevent you from making expensive mistakes or missing opportunities to make the most of your space.
