James M. Kosowski

Landscape Design / Estimator / Project Manager

Jim has 30 years of experience in the green industry. He started working for a local nursery at the age of 15 and began installing landscaping shortly after. During this period, practical knowledge was supplemented with landscape design courses at the University of Minnesota. The past 15 years has been spent designing and managing residential landscape projects. This wide range of experience helps Jim design both aesthetically pleasing as well as functionally competent projects. "First and foremost a design must address the functional needs of the client and their family then the challenge is to make the layout aesthetically pleasing and interesting."
