Continuum Landscape Architects

CONTINUUM Landscape Architects is a landscape architecture consulting firm based in Watertown, Massachusetts, founded by Michael White, who its listing describes as a licensed landscape architect and LEED AP accredited professional. Its Houzz profile prints license number #1583, and it works across Greater Boston. This is a design practice rather than a crew with trucks. The services it lists are drawing and planning work: landscape and garden design, landscape plans and site planning, hardscape and patio design, pool and water-feature design, outdoor lighting, 3D rendering, drafting and project management, alongside more specialised interests such as green roofs, living walls, edible and organic gardens. Its written record is real but thin and dated. The single account on file is a November 2015 review from the PTA co-presidents of Burbank Elementary School in Belmont, MA, describing a school-garden project begun in January 2015: they wrote that Michael White handled technical considerations and hardscape specifications, estimated materials and installation costs, produced plan and perspective drawings they used to solicit donated labour and materials, and then effectively acted as project manager, advising on materials, quantities and work flow. They also described him directing hardscape installation in April 2015 by a team of Minuteman High School horticulture students, coming daily to mark out areas, and attending PTA meetings and the opening ceremony. That is one detailed, positive account from more than a decade ago, and nothing published since, which is too little to support a rating. Anyone considering the firm should ask for current project references, confirm the landscape architect registration number directly with the Massachusetts board, and be clear about where design work ends and a separate installation contractor begins.
