About
Shimizu Landscape Design is a small company that has been providing the Washington D.C. area with beautiful landscapes for over 45 years. My father, Osamu Shimizu, is the sole designer at our company and is aided by a small crew to make his designs become a reality. We only handle a couple of projects at a time so he is involved on a daily basis with every garden and he is there to make sure that all aspects of it are brought to life as he envisions them. His gardens are often a mix of eastern and western styles that give each of his gardens individuality. Osamu is able to make distinctive arrangements that do not rely solely on flowers which in turn give his gardens year round beauty. His greatest gift is being able to look at a space and almost instantly know what he feels should be done. One goal of Shimizu Landscape Design to try to emulate nature while also keeping in mind the functionality of every garden. I personally am simply amazed by what my father is able to do with each garden he designs and installs. Seeing him work inspired me to try and follow in his footsteps.
