Hello there! I’m Amy Borsay, one of the Landscape Designers here at Myatt Landscaping and Construction. I have 15 years of experience working in the green industry, including time spent as a Master Gardener Volunteer with NC Cooperative Extension, as well as several years professional experience working as a landscape designer in the landscape contracting industry. Together with my education – I hold a Master of Horticultural Science degree and performed my undergraduate work in plants and ecology – I have a deep understanding of sustainable landscape design, installation, and maintenance. I also actively seek out and participate in continuing education opportunities to keep my skills up to date.

The Landscape Design department at Myatt prides itself on being a source of knowledge and expertise in all facets of landscape design, including planting, hardscapes, and grading and drainage. Our main goal is the creation of comfortable, enjoyable outdoor spaces that are both beautiful and functional. I personally enjoy meeting with our clients and listening to their design and landscape needs, as well as being a part of a collaborative design group where the opportunities for creativity are endless.

We hope you find our blogs helpful and inspiring, and look forward to working with you on the transformation of your landscape!
