TTK DESIGN is committed to creating visionary landscape designs at any scale that are manageable, thoughtful, safe and functional through a blend of art and science.
We believe a landscape project should be a collaborative, engaging and enjoyable journey for the client. Our goal is to find the most inspired design that meets or exceeds our client’s expectations. (budget, maintenance and scale).
We utilize the Design-Build process which optimizes design outcomes, delivers efficiencies and creates cost effective solutions in both hardscaping and landscaping, significantly benefitting the client.
Our logo reflects the mission, vision and values of the firm.
We respect the land and topography as represented in the topographic lines in the logo
Plants are vital for life and we know plants, as depicted in the “green thumb” print
Every finger print is unique just as is every site and every design we create
“Every landscape is unique and inspired by nature, memories, function, and design preferences. There’s nothing I love better than a setting that has a story.”

KIND WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS…
“I just wanted to thank you for one of the most pleasurable business experiences we have ever had. Starting with the beautiful rendering of what we hoped to achieve, to the actual implementation of TTK Design, the results are stunning. Our only regret is that we waited so long to make this dream a reality. Thank you Tricia for walking us through the process with great enthusiasm and expert guidance!” E Hill
“I can barely put into words how thrilled I have been with Tricia King and her design capabilities. We have worked together over the last decade transforming my property into an awarding winning landscape. It was done with forethought, but not all at once. Each year we would add a garden. or build a stone wall, or patio. The look is seamless, the last addition, the stone patio off a side deck mimics an opposing wall that was built 30 years ago. It is stunning.” Natalie H
“Tricia has the skills of a civil engineer, the knowledge of a horticulturalist and the eye of an artist. We knew it would be important to have a landscape architect help us achieve our goals, but we had no idea we’d find so many talents in one professional. Our project was pretty daunting due to the size and state of our property, but Tricia addressed every problem as an opportunity for creativity and innovation. Sally and Scott
“After meeting on site and seeing the house style and surrounding property, Tricia was able to ask the pertinent questions which resulted in an effective, aesthetic and functional design plan. Stepping back, it validated the ambience we were hoping to achieve. Because Tricia listens to her clients and what they want to accomplish, ultimately the end result becomes OURS...... with her expertise, guidance, thoughtfulness and patience rounding out the enjoyable process. She is such a joy to work with!” Carol K
