James W. Polack, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT
James Polack's skills and considerable experience in large-scale planning provide the perfect compliment for Scott's expertise as a plantsman and experience in large estate work. As a licensed landscape architect, James establishes a design program for each project at Reilly Designs, determining clients' wants and needs and the site's capabilities or potentials. His unique ability to see the big picture and create detailed construction documents enables him to look at a project and see more potential while providing the technical expertise necessary to support the project's construction. Less concerned with creating portfolio projects than with providing clients what they want or need, James approaches each project as a collaborator, without imposing predetermined ideas or a signature design. He takes great pride in consistently producing creative solutions unique to his clients and the challenges and opportunities of their environments.
