PHILOSOPHY
“Landscaping is a process of designing exterior spaces to create interest, beauty and intrigue to a property. It is working with existing elements on the property and enveloping them into the new landscape.”
RICHARD POTTER
Richard graduated from Michigan State University in 1975 with a degree in Landscape Architecture. He has since worked for various design build landscape companies throughout the Great Lakes Bay Region before joining the Reder Team in 2017, bringing with him over 40 years of industry experience.
