2. Dear LAEP Faculty,
It is with great pleasure that I submit my portfolio to the Department of Landscape
Architecture and Environmental Planning. It is my intention to continue my education
at Utah State University in the LAEP program. I have lived in Cache Valley most of
my life and I’m determined to gain a higher level of education at Utah State. I love
the outdoors and being apart of the landscape which is around me. Furthering my
education will provide me with the skills needed to help people connect with the
environment they live in.
My passion for the outdoors started very young while living near the Logan Mountains.
There has always been a great deal of time devoted to camping, hiking, and
motorcycling in the back woods. My love for the landscape inspired me to find
work that would allow me to spend time in the outdoors. As a teenager I worked for
landscaping companies doing sprinkler systems and flower bed design. Ten years ago
I decided it was time to start my own business doing yard care. The more experience
I gain with residential landscaping and maintenance the more I realized education is
the key to success.
Working hard, and never giving up have always been important to me; these
characteristics have helped me accomplish many challenging things in my life. As
I spend time in the LAEP Department I’m able to be motivated by professors and
fellow students, allowing me to work hard and never give up. The studio culture that is
present with the sophomores have stretch me to go above and beyond in my work.
Our class will be able to take that momentum gained by studio culture and reach new
heights.
I know the LAEP Department will benefit from having me as a student because, I
will motivate myself and students around me to do our best, and push ourselves to
the next level of excellence. Everyday as I apply what is learned from my classes, I
see the potential I have to make the world a better place. I am excited to continue
my education at Utah State University. Thank you for taking the time to review this
portfolio of my work, and the opportunity to express my intent to be considered for
matriculation.
Sincerely,
Kendall Crockett

Skills Learned:
The ability to interpret a
given site for a client. Add
circulation pathways to
give a sense of place to
the Logan Temple barn
property. Agriculture and
demonstration gardens
implemented into the
design along with plaza
areas for educational
teaching opportunities.
I was able to learn how
to take certain project
elements and apply
them to the site in order
to create a design that
would both satisfy the
client and the users.
Illustrator was used
for circulation paths,
AutoCAD for planting
design locations, and
Photoshop for creating
colored visual effects
that are pleasing to the
viewer.

Aerial Site Inventory and Analysis
Currently at Utah State University
I am on a team of students using
cutting edge technology to
produce aerial inventory and
analysis from a new perspective.
The use of drones in our practice
will open up new doors for
Landscape Architects in the
future. We have been able to
produce accurate 3D modeling
and topography of our sites and
this is only the beginning. Photo credit: Kif Leswing

12. Personal Projects:
I am the owner of Crockett Mowing, here are some examples of the
work we do. Top row shows a before, during, and after restoration
project. Second row left image is an example of a front yard water
feature I installed sharpening the house entry. Second row right image is
an example of a yard we maintain, and a renovation of the front yard.
Bottom row is my company logo, on the bottom right we have renovated
the hillside with plantings for erosion control and landscape appeal.
