Susan Combs Bauer, President
Landscape Architect, PLA
A Puget Sound native, Susan enjoys everything about nature and the outdoors. At an early age, Susan enjoyed hiking with her family in the mountains, making trails in the woods behind her house, and spending weekends at Point Defiance State Park. Fast forward to today, and nothing much has changed!
Helping people connect with nature for over 30 years through professional landscape design, Susan Combs Bauer is an award-winning landscape architect with professional licenses in Washington State and California. Rather than a conventional approach to landscape design, Susan is a leading expert in sensory landscape design. Her artistic creations balance sensory elements with visual aesthetics to help people feel engaged, delighted and rejuvenated.
Susan’s landscape architect projects have gained recognition throughout the United States and can be found in several magazines such as Mother Earth Living, Su Casa, and Landscape Architect Specifier News. She is the award winner of the "2013 Best Large Residential Landscape Design in San Francisco Bay Area" and "FHWA Award of Merit for 1-90 Bellevue to Seattle Pedestrian/Bicycle Trail". In addition to being a professional landscape architect (PLA), Susan is an accredited rainwater collection systems professional (AP), certified permaculture design consultant, and professional violinist.

Jack Bauer, Vice President
Project Manager/Owner's Representative
With over 30 years of managing large-scale projects, Jack has led the planning, development, and construction of beautiful estates, luxury properties, neighborhood subdivisions, mixed commercial developments, and individual home sites across the United States.
Jack has also managed property portfolios for Quadrant Corporation, Weyerhaeuser, Vulcan NW, Puget Sound area tech executives, Watermark Estate Management Services, and Silicon Valley tech executives.
Whether Jack is managing one of his many construction projects in the Northwest, Silicon Valley, Boston, or Snoqualmie Valley, he always brings his enthusiastic and proactive approach to every project. Jack attributes much of his success to many of the responsible and wonderful people he has worked with. What many people don't know about Jack is that he holds a patent for alternative refrigeration. It was an exciting day when his experimental payload project took a ride on NASA's space shuttle STS 59 in 1994.
