"I could not have had a better experience than I had with Miller Landscapes. Ron, the owner, was responsive, on time, professional, and did what he said he would do, at the price he initially quoted. I originally had his team out to add trees along our fence for privacy. We added the mulching job a couple of days before he came. His team was also professional, cleaned up as they worked and worked quickly yet did a very thorough job. I even saw them bowing the debris off the street as they worked so that they weren't making a mess. I hung around and came outside from time to time and they were always friendly and courteous. Better yet, they did our trees in May 2016, and as of now (August) our trees look healthy and strong and already have grown. We were so happy with that job, that we asked them to come out again and add a front patio with flower bed around it. Due to our budget, we asked them to simply prep the flower bed (and I came in after they were finished and planted a few things), and Ron was totally fine with doing that for us. It was a big job, I know we could not have done it. They dug in deep so those pavers aren't going to budge. It was fun having Aaron, a Miller employee, show me different designs with the pavers, and then picking out our design on the spot. Again, on this job, as on the first, Ron's team was curteous, professional and friendly. I had asked Ron to let me know in advance when they would be there because I have four dogs and wanted to be home while it was done so my dogs didn't freak out about strangers on our property. He did this for us, which made the process logistically easy on my end, and less stressful. The second job took a little longer than he originally thought, but they came every day and worked hard continuously, and since I periodically was watching what they were doing I got to see just how thorough and meticulous they were in laying our pavers. It was wonderful! I highly recommend Miller Landscapes to anyone who wants to make their yard more beautiful. You will not be disappointed."

"Nick and his team are simply too notch! I am always impressed at their design creativity and their ability to translate that into architectural drawings in a timely and professional manner for a fair price. Additionally, Nick and his team are well informed as to current codes and what City permit reviewers are looking for. Once, when the City wanted adjustments, Nick handled it personally and went over and above to help expedite matters. Nick is pleasant to deal with and easy to communicate with. I have recommended him to clients and wouldnâ t utilize anyone else!"

Customers say: Quick response

"We needed someone to go through the city variance process for our build. In the middle of the process our original architect was unable to finish our project and Tate Architectural Design was able to pick up where we left off and complete the job. They were also very easy to reach and helped us every step of the way with any questions we had. I would highly recommend."

Architects questions, answered by experts

You can draw your own house plans using three-dimensional modeling software, but in most cases, you’ll need an architect to draw up the final plans. Architects understand local building regulations and requirements, so their plans will be necessary for getting permits approved, and they’ll also ensure your home is structurally sound. DIY house plans can be a good place to start to help visualize your project, but you should always defer to a professional before trying to proceed with the project.

You likely need to hire an architect for your new house design and build, unless you have the design skills and experience with building regulations and standards needed to get your plans approved. If you are able to meet the design requirements, you can hire a draftsperson to create the blueprints for the builders to follow.

The process involves initial consultation, concept development, detailed planning, regulatory approvals, and integration of contractor work for project execution.

A designer is a great choice for remodeling projects that don’t require significant structural work. For remodeling that includes structural work like removing load-bearing walls, altering exterior walls, or adding on a room, an architect can design and execute the renovations while ensuring your home remains structurally sound.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.
