Meet the Landscape Designers
DAVID KOPFMANN
David started Yardscapes, Inc. in 1974 and continues to be the lead designer. David enjoys both new construction and remodels projects. He has the ability to envision a beautiful entertaining space or front entry before construction has even begun. David’s most rewarding projects have happened on his 10 acres, where the business started, and still remains his home today.
CLAYTON JOHNSON
Clayton has been designing unique and creative projects with Yardscapes since 1999. His precision and clean lines are a great attribute to his landscape designs and installations. If you have an existing property or new construction, Clayton is great at blending old with new. Clayton enjoys the outdoors and spending time with his wife and three children.
LINCOLN DANFORTH
Lincoln has been designing with Yardscapes since 2005. One of Lincoln’s strengths is designing towards his client’s needs/desires with unique and creative spaces that fit the surrounding architecture. Some of Lincoln’s favorite projects include small, tight spaces where he can create custom stonework. Lincoln recently purchased a new home with his family and can’t wait to get his hands dirty, creating a playful environment for his three busy boys.
