After nearly eight years studying landscape design and landscape architecture (including eight summers of design, installation, maintenance and nursery work), Kevin moved to Seattle and started Avalon NW in June of 1996. For seven years he and his business partner worked with local designers to build residential landscapes around Seattle.

In 2003, Kevin felt confident enough to design his own projects and evolved Avalon into a design-build firm. He enjoyed working with clients to realize their vision while also developing and honing his own personal aesthetic. In 2013, he became sole owner of Avalon and the friendly relationships he’d built over two decades with local landscape architects turned to professional relationships as he began working to implement other designers’ visions again. Kevin is a designer at heart and always brings a sense of creativity and collaboration to his work.
