“I recently built my own custom designed house that I love and adore. However it was sitting on a very ordinary plain rectangular lot. Fred Hann transformed this homely rectangle into a beautiful garden which I love and adore. I am the envy of my neighbours and friends as this lovely garden is so unique, filled with wondrous surprises, and just as important to me, as a busy single person, it is so easy to maintain. Thank you so much Fred for the joy you have given me.”

“Over the years we have had the pleasure to retain the design and project management services of Frederick Hann who helped us create a peaceful and relaxing country atmosphere in the city. Never before have we seen it look so luxuriant with plant materials, and structural features holding our interest so late in the year. The recent additions of the potting shed and summerhouse were integrated, such that they look as though they were built with the house fifty years ago. Our family and friends are charmed with the property and have remarked on the garden oasis and its ability to accommodate both informal and formal activities. Needless to say, we would be honoured to commend his services and work to anyone who wishes to create a beautiful property. Our thanks to Fred and toast his excellent work.”

“When we first saw Fred’s concept plans for our new property we were thrilled and thought - "Wow, a new home and a substantial garden!" From design to the end of construction the process was engaging, at times challenging but always rewarding. Fred and his staff kept the contractors focused on achieving our big vision. Seeing the garden develop and now observing and enjoying it as it changes throughout the seasons is a thrill everyday.”

“Frederick Hann Associates Limited have designed the most wonderful and satisfying gardens for a number of my real estate renovation projects over the past several years. Fred’s designs are outstanding and always blend into the landscape and look like they absolutely belong there. His usage of local stone, unconventional materials and decking on the designs provided were a major contributitor to the resale of these properties. Fred is a visionary and his eye for detail is evident in the drawings and spaces he creates. Fred Hann is a businessman who is prepared to go the distance on a project that he believes in and I have found him to be fabulous to work with. His professionalism is second to none and I look forward to a long and prosperous partnership on future projects.”

”I have never seen anybody who can convert a complex accident or crime scene to an accurate 3-dimensional model with the skill and attention to detail that Fred Hann brings to the task. His amazing talent for re-creating a crime or accident scene is matched by his ability to explain the results of his work in terms easily understood by the layperson.”

Landscape architecture is the profession committed to the creation of meaningful and vital outdoor places and to the sustainable management of our environment.
“What, then, should the term landscape architecture be taken to mean? It will be understood here to mean the art - or the science, if preferred - of arranging land, together with the spaces and objects upon it, for safe, efficient, healthful, pleasant human use.”
Norman T. Newton, Design on the Land, 1971
Garden design is the art and process of designing creating plans for layout and planting of gardens and landscapes. Most professional garden designers are trained in principles of design and in horticulture, and have an expert knowledge and experience of using plants. Some professional garden designers are also landscape architects, a more formal level of training that usually requires an advanced degree and often a state license.
Site planning refers to the organizational stage of the landscape design process. It involves the organization of land use zoning, access, circulation, privacy, security, shelter, land drainage, and other factors. This is done by arranging the compositional elements of landform, planting, water, buildings and paving and building.
Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives.
