Tom Dellaquila, ASLA

Tom began his career in Tucson, Arizona thirty years
ago. Due to the high costs of water in this desert
community, Tucson was the first area of the country
to embrace low water use, sustainable landscapes and
the use of drip irrigation systems.

As a student at the University of Arizona, Tom
studied this type of design under Professor Warren
Jones FASLA, one of the pioneers of low water use
landscape architecture and former editor of The
Sunset Garden Book and Plant Encyclopedia.

Over the past thirty years Tom has continued to
refine his skills and create pleasant, green
environments that have low water requirements and
utilize drip irrigation systems. His built work
includes several Master Planned Communities and
City and County Parks, tens of thousands of
residential units, several schools and numerous public
works, commercial and industrial developments.

design as a part of our services. We
never use
outside consultants. This allows for both superior
quality and scheduling control. We have designed
spray systems for parks and playing fields and drip
systems for a wide array of projects.

We produce clear, error free plans that generate
few, if any, questions during construction.

At
DesignScapes we are adept at designing to a
budget.
Our work will meet budget or we will revise our
plans at no cost. We have never had to do so.
