Julia Marshall
Julia returned to the Roaring Fork valley in 1988 to start the landscape architectural firm of Mt. Daly Enterprises, LLC. The nature of the valley has allowed the practice to focus on all scales of development from residential projects to mixed use projects. As a subset of designing landscapes, Julia has developed extensive knowledge of plant material, particularly what performs well at higher altitudes. This knowledge extends into the arena of using plants in a water wise fashion suitable for our climate. Julia received her Masters of Landscape Architecture from Harvard University Graduate School of Design. She chose the field of landscape architecture as a way of bringing her passion for painting and design together with her love of the natural environment. In addition to her work as a landscape architect, Julia has dedicated a part of her time to community improvements such as the Rio Grande Park and the Red Brick Art and Recreation Center in Aspen and as board member of the Carbondale Tree Board, The Art Base, Compass and The Art Campus at Willits.
