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.
