About

LANDSCAPE DESIGN
Starting with thoughtful site analysis, we design and craft landscapes which are experientially rich and ecologically responsible. Composing with form, color, time, and materials while taking into account natural systems, we seek to reveal the genius of a place by amplifying its assets and uncovering its potential.
Our approach is grounded in environmentally sustainable practices such as stormwater management, waste reduction, salvaging existing materials, and empowering people to be agents in the space. From terrace gardens to interior retail installations to envisioning a masterplan for a public school, we work at many scales and value close communication with our clients and the communities we're serving.

CONSTRUCTION
Our skilled crew of horticulturists, carpenters and masons is available to install stone patios, water features, custom planters, trellises, and any other elements in your plan. We hand pick, deliver and install a diverse palette of native and naturalized plants from local nurseries customized to the micro-climate and maintenance requirements of each site.

MAINTENANCE
Superlative white glove horticultural maintenance services are available for penthouses, offices, retail spaces, terraces, townhouse or brownstone backyards, and common roof decks. Weekly, Bi-weekly, and Monthly service packages are available.

Thrilled to see our favorite living wall at peak! The new and surviving plantings have all matured well to form a tapestry of colors and textures! After these flowers fade, the wall will settle into shades of green, chartreuse, and grey foliage fo
Posting photos of an east village penthouse garden we designed and installed a couple of years ago. The building's structure would not allow for the soil depth required for trees and most large shrubs so we planted lots of large grasses, shrubby pe
Perennials and the newly planted Sangu Kaku Maple are growing in nicely on this terrace we planted over a month ago. Simple and wild, the planting palette consists of orange, pink and purple flowering Geum, Gaura, Geranium Hyssop and Lavender with a
Thrilled to see the plants thriving and filling in so nicely at this bi-level penthouse garden we installed at the end of April! Beautiful and structural, the plant palette is also a drought tolerant community which will depend on less irrigation th
We love the light and shadows on the sugi ban fence in this backyard designed by Future Green and O'Neill Rose Architects. Posting some maintenance shots from earlier this week.
