For the seven years prior to my move from South Miami to Delray Beach I was employed by a landscape architectural firm specializing in the design, coordination and construction of hundreds of design/build projects from high-end residential, institutional, commercial and hospitality properties. I also became consulting Landscape Architect for Sunflower Landscaping & Maintenance, for their clients, GL Homes, specifically The Bridges and Seven Bridges. The Landscape

From April 2008 to August 2009 I provided all of the in-house landscape design work for Kenco Properties, developers of The Oaks, Ibis and Mirasol Residential Communities. I was responsible for meeting with clients, preparing hardscape and landscape plans, budgeting, gaining client approval and sign off.
I'm featured on the HGTV website. I worked on an article about creating a professional backyard landscape. The link is below.
From 2000 through 2018 I was Sunflower Landscaping & Maintenance Inc.'s consulting Landscape Architect.
I am so full of gratitude for being hired to work on this beautiful new intracoastal home in Delray Beach. Not only was this a beautiful project to work on, but I made a good friends in Melissa and Andy, the homes owners. I was honored to work with one of the best Contractor's, Architect's and Interior Designer's in the Palm Beaches building industry on this project. Thank you Jennifer Knowles, the interior designer for getting this project into "Luxe" magazines Palm Beach / Ft. Lauderdale's November / December 2017 issue!
I was really surprised when I finally had the chance to open "Boca Life" magazine's March 2019 issue. I thought the bedroom on the cover was beautiful and I didn't realize it was my twin sister's work. Maura is an excellent interior designer based in downtown ft. Lauderdale. She had come in as the client's interior designer after my work was completed. It was exciting to see our work come together and be presented in the magazine.
I have a strong work ethic and strive for perfection on all of my projects. I work by hand drafting and on AutoCAD. I also have and extensive list of references available upon request. I‘d be happy to provide a complimentary site visit to review your landscape project.
Thank you in advance for viewing my website and your consideration,
Maureen Smith
