Services We find the process of engaging with each new site, client, and design team to be one of the most dynamic and inspiring aspects of our work. We perceive our role in the process to be that of a guide to our client in our mutual effort to realize project goals. We attribute our success to an inclusive approach and remain convinced that expressive, interesting environments are born in a collaborative environment. To this end, we pursue and welcome input from our clients, other professionals, and the community members invested in each project. We believe in developing strong conceptual ideas that inform a project's direction and ensure a comprehensive finished product. As an office with a long history of landscape contracting in addition to landscape design, we offer a particular capability in translating these conceptual ideas into inspiring, successful spaces. The unique continuum of services offered by Miller Company helps our clients reach their aesthetic and financial goals with fewer missteps and provides a great deal of personal care in our approach to the landscape planning, development and building process. We are particularly proud to be recognized as a leader in the arena of community participation in the design process. Miller Company has worked extensively with public agencies, private developers, non-profit organizations, and community groups to design multi-family Communities, School grounds, Health-Care facilities, and urban Parks. In our extensive work with multi-family community development, we team neighborhood members with our clients and the other professionals involved in the project to create livable, sustainable communities. Our school projects range in scale from individual school sites to citywide district planning, and from pre-school to college campus environments. We have collaborated closely with many neighborhoods in the city of San Francisco to develop small urban parks, community gardens, and enhanced streetscapes. Throughout these projects we have worked to develop environments that meet the requirements expressed by the client and the community and provide an array of communal and intimate spaces designed to enhance the urban social experience. Miller Company endeavors to foster the creation of sustainable landscapes in all of our project work. We make optimum use of materials available on the site and attempt to limit the importation of materials from off-site. We use appropriate construction and native plant materials in service to systems that recycle and nurture the whole environment. Through careful planning, design, and construction we have been able to be environmentally responsible and expressive which has brought us and our clients a great deal of satisfaction. 1585 Folsom St., CA 94103 Francisco tel 415.252.7288 fax 415.252.7289
