As the founder of Olivia Landscape Design, my passion for landscapes began in early childhood, exploring hiking trails, camping in the PNW, and walking the Boise Greenbelt. These experiences shaped my appreciation for nature and the impact well-designed spaces have on our lives.
With a master’s degree in landscape architecture from The University of Idaho and years of experience, I’ve worked on a diverse range of projects—from public parks and private backyards to neighborhood master plans. I’ve collaborated with firms across the Treasure Valley and contributed to community initiatives, including designing a firewise and native pollinator garden.
Today, I bring a detail-oriented approach, a commitment to sustainability, and a client-focused design process to every project, transforming outdoor spaces into meaningful, functional landscapes.
I’M OLIVIA, YOUR
nice to meet you

“When my wife and I were looking for a landscape designer for our new home in Boise, Idaho, our realtor, Tina Richards, highly recommended Olivia Harman of Olivia Landscape Design, and we are so grateful that she did! Olivia designed a beautiful English Garden motif for our home that included a variety of numerous flowering plants and shrubs. She met with the installation company prior to the initial planting to make sure the design was understood by them and was available throughout the entire process to answer my questions and provide whatever support needed. Olivia is not only a highly skilled professional; she is also an absolute delight to work with: personable, accommodating, calm, and happy. She listens closely to her clients and wants to be sure that their wishes for the landscaping project are heard and carried out as desired. It’s been a joy to work with Olivia, and I know that all her present and future clients will feel the same way about her as my wife and I do. Thank you, Olivia! “

""Olivia came recommended from a trusted friend. This is my first time using a landscape architect. As such, I was leaning on Olivia's experience more than most. From the outset, Olivia actively listened...a rare trait nowadays. She fielded all my questions (even the stupid ones) with grace and patience. My project us updating my childhood home and the outside needs a complete overhaul. I shared my preferences, but left the ball in her quart. SHE NAILED IT!! Her attention to detail was unprecedented. She presented ideas I would've never thought of, and the drawings alone have me excited to execute her plan ASAP! Thank you Olivia...you are a landscape architect par excellence."

"Olivia designed a beautiful landscape plan that integrates perfectly
for our home in the foothills. We have several challenges with what can grow successfully around evergreen trees, wind and wildlife. Olivia did soil samples and plenty of research to determine the plant materials, hard scape, and overall design that we mutually agreed on via several in person meetings. Olivia was a joy to work with and we highly recommend!"

"Working with Olivia was an absolute pleasure! Her deep knowledge of plants and creative design skills exceeded our expectations. She designed a beautiful water feature, a covered patio, and a cozy fire pit area, transforming our outdoor space. In the front yard, she replaced the lawn with native plants, creating a more sustainable and visually stunning landscape. We highly recommend her!"

The City of Wendell was awarded a grant for a new park in 2022. As a brand new Mayor I was thrilled but also faced with the large task of actually bringing this park to fruition. After calling multiple landscape designers my elation turned to discouragement as I was told over and over again that our City didn’t have enough money for what we wanted. Then I found Olivia. Olivia helped me to see how making this park a reality might actually be possible. She conducted a site visit during which she took soil samples, measured slope, and discussed in detail with us the possibilities of our site. She really listened to our hopes and even our fears as we went through the process. She asked thoughtful questions not only about our park site but our town and its history. She was kind and professional and provided common sense suggestions to solve some of the problems that we were running up against. A few weeks later when Olivia presented her designs to us I was shocked at the attention to detail that she’d included. It was everything I’d asked for and more. She even included small nods to our town’s heritage and history which everyone loved. It has been a joy to work with Olivia thus far and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone else who is looking for a wonderful designer.
