Biography

Maeve has been practicing as an artist and landscape architect for over twenty years. Her earlier career as an art teacher equips her with the necessary skills to build relationships with clients and stakeholders, which are key to realising a shared vision for a scheme.

Each project response is unique and underpinned with the understanding that site context and client needs are key to delivering solutions for successful places for people. Using drawing and mood boards as springboards for discussion the practice listens, decodes
and interprets what our clients want and can potentially achieve in their gardens.

Realise Landscape Architects guarantees clear and transparent fees for each design stage. With award winning projects under their belt they provide a range of services from one-off consultations right through to full design packages.
