Boundless Principal Laura Jerrard grew up in the austere landscape of the midwestern United States.  There she learned the power of geometry in the landscape, the immensity of the sky and nature’s capacity to burst through human constraints.  Her family lived periodically in East Anglia and Midlands of England where they visited gardens throughout the country every weekend. Laura saw some of the best partnerships between people and nature.

When Laura first visited California in her teens, its Mediterranean climate and dramatic landscapes were a revelation to her.  After moving to the bay area and getting her Master’s in Landscape Architecture, she was fortunate to work for almost 20 years at Lutsko Associates landscape, where she helped build the firm’s reputation for contemporary design, elegant use of materials and environmental sensitivity.  She founded Boundless Landscape in early 2019.
