Hi, I'm Aundrea Cervi, a Windsor-based landscape designer and visual artist with a Diploma in Landscape Design and Horticulture and BA in Visual Arts and Communications. I specialize in creating unique, functional outdoor spaces for homeowners and contractors, guiding projects from concept through installation and post-project follow-up. I have also begun to branch out into commercial and interior design. I work with 2D CAD and 3D tools (AutoCAD, SketchUp, Lumion, Dynascape, StructureStudios) to deliver designs that meet client goals, budgets, and site conditions, while staying organized and responsive throughout the process. I value strong client relationships, ongoing horticulture knowledge, and sustainable design choices. I'm passionate about keystone species, environmental considerations, and building creative promotional strategies to grow my business, all while maintaining a positive, healthy lifestyle and a collaborative approach with suppliers, sub-contractors and local businesses.
