History

Established in 1995.

The firm was originally founded as Van de Voorde Landscape Architecture after Rhadiante left Onizuka Air Station where she was the Engineering Group Manager for Projects at Moffet Field. Her work exploded throughout the greater bay area due to the success of her unique design approach. Rhadiante would bring her portable drafting table and show clients the possibilities for their gardens in the comfort of their own home. This approach streamlined the design process and clients were delighted to be involved in the design process. In 2006, the firm transitioned to the name of Elemental Design Group. In 2008, EDG acquired their C-​27 landscape contractor’s license and is now able to offer a turn key design build approach. Rhadiante still works with other licensed landscape contractors and is able to put drawings out to competitive bid should our client’s desire that approach.
