BEHIND THE SCENES AT AJM HQ

THE ART AND SCIENCE OF PLANT DESIGN

Aside from considering its visual appeal, carefully selecting plants that will flourish in the unique growing condition of every site, is also very important. Planning the right location for them and studying their growing and maintenance requirements must also be put in mind when planning the landscape design. From start to finish, the goal is to choose plants that will create a balanced, unified and beautiful landscape that will best fit the needs of our clients.

BUSY BUILDING DREAMS

What’s the latest thing you’ve learned that’s got you feeling accomplished?

Quick design huddles to incorporate landscape treatments to architectural and engineering design elements. Landscape architecture is a technical profession as much as its allied fields. We make sure that all of our work is aligned with the details of our colleagues in the field for we understand that we are a significant part of a whole.

L. Arch. Lemuel Romero recently returned from a site inspection of our project in the City of San Fernando, La Union, Philippines, and provided the AJM Community with an update. The site is progressing, and the landscape design is evolving. We are exploring various concepts and elements to enhance the user experience of this serene beach retreat. The Client’s vision is guiding the process, and we are working to balance aesthetics with functionality.
The hands-on approach of AJM’s landscape architects significantly contributes to the realization of our design vision. Our expertise enables us to provide more precise guidance, facilitate informed decision-making, and ensure that the project remains faithful to its original intent.

We blend traditional sketching with technology to foster creativity and innovation. Our young team puts pen to paper to quickly visualize ideas, then leverages the latest tools to bring them to life.

Crafting the story is where design comes alive. As landscape designers, we slip into our clients’ shoes, imagining how they’ll live, work, and play in their outdoor space. It’s about understanding their narrative and weaving it into every detail, creating an experience that’s uniquely theirs. By doing so, we don’t just build spaces – we build memories.

Blending functionality with tranquility, Landscape Architects Micah, Lemuel, and AJ are creating a harmonious space where work and home coexist. Where nature meets design, productivity meets peace.

UNITY IN DESIGN, EXCELLENCE IN DELIVERY.

This World Landscape Architecture Month, we celebrate all professional landscape architects. At AJM Planning and Design, we believe in passing knowledge across generations. Gen X brings practical solutions. Millennials bring tech fluency. Gen Z brings creative energy that redefines what’s possible. Together, we value every contribution and create extraordinary spaces that reflect our world — and help it thrive.

World Landscape Architecture Month shines a light on how important it is to design outdoor spaces that are not only practical and safe but also beautiful. We consider various aspects such as the expected number of users, water management strategies, plant selection, and ways to appreciate the natural surroundings. Our goal is to create green spaces that are fun to be in and that encourage everyone to take care of the environment.
Landscape architecture is more than just planting trees and gardening.
At AJM Planning and Design, we work together, learn from each other, and grow as a Community. We look at each site carefully, come up with creative ideas, and turn simple trail photos into detailed plans, diagrams, and 3D models that show off the land, views, and how people will move around.

Great design needs great execution. As landscape architects, we respect how our work goes hand in hand with highly skilled landscape contractors.
Big thanks to Sir Jeff and the LaeGarden Corporation team for the visit and ongoing collaboration. Here’s to more!
