Garden Sanctuaries by Design is a landscape design firm. Our clients rely on us to design customized environments-spaces that make outdoor living a uniquely pleasurable experience. Elena Fortunato is the founder of Garden Sanctuaries by Design. As a landscape designer, she is the missing link between the architect and the contractor. Most architects are not gardeners, and contractors are not designers. These professionals stop short of creating a cohesive, functional and aesthetically pleasing outdoor space. In the design process, Elena keeps in mind the architecture of the residence, the climatic conditions, and the future functions and visions of the homeowners for their individual spaces. Someone once said that a landscape designer needs to be a little bit of an architect, an engineer, an accountant and a psychologist in order to create spaces that fit the environment, the budget, and the clients wishes. Our goal is to do just that; to achieve a final result that will stimulate all the senses for a most pleasurable experience.
