Irrigation design expert, Dana Seelig has studied and experimented with various approaches to irrigation design over his 30+ years in the profession of landscape architecture. In addition to overseeing the design division’s irrigation system design and development, Dana is responsible for frontend project due diligence, design development and production quality control, agency approvals and field observation services. At the leading edge of irrigation design innovation, Dana has tested new approaches that challenge the typical requirement for time-based irrigation calculations.

Dana has been exposed to the landscape business for most of his life. As a child he raised cacti and orchids with his family, a tradition he continues today, and ran a garden shop for 7 years while in high school and college. In his free time, Dana tends to his orchids, plumarias, vegetable garden, fruit trees and compost, or is found off-roading near his mountain cabin. Dana evaluates water usage for the benefit of his clients and his own assets with both the bottom line and plant health in mind. A commonly overlooked fact that Dana likes to share is the importance of evaluating water requirements for both the plants’ needs and varying soil saturation capacity.
