...Creating Landscapes that Inspire
Pamela Simonds, the Principal of Simonds Design, has an in-depth knowledge of the unique landscape requirements of Contra Costa County and specializes in wild life friendly and sustainable landscapes providing a comfortable refuge for all. In fact, Pamela has two certified wildlife gardens in Pleasant Hill..
Pamela works closely with her clients, matching their new landscapes and gardens with the architecture of their homes and within the limitations of the sites. The site and program analysis as well as the budget or spending plan direct the choices that create the finished garden. She limits the number of projects so that her attention is focused on creating the best possible garden in a reasonable amount of time.
She worked in the horticulture industry at Orchard Nursery in Lafayette, and at Skylark Wholesale in Sonoma. It was during this time that her residential business was born. A life long East Bay resident and gardener, she really does garden on the weekends for relaxation! Her other activities are photography, hiking, bird watching and dog walking.
Through her association and collaboration with landscape contractors, Pam has had may projects recognized by the California Landscape Contractors Association for their creativity and installation achievement awards.
An active and certified member of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers, she keeps up with current ideas and the creative influences of the other members at the annual conferences and local seminars. She also serves as an Architectural Review Commissioner for the City of Pleasant Hill.
