Every project begins with an in-person site consultation and site analysis. The site consultation helps us understand how your future landscape should support your lifestyle and property experience.
A site analysis involves a detailed evaluation of current property conditions. This analysis, combined with learnings from the site consultation, provides content for a master plan. This plan outlines the property’s spatial organization, material choices, and overall planting design.
Ongoing dialogue and client collaboration ensure the design intent is carried through at every stage of the project.
Our starting point
Profoundly inspired by the Hudson River Valley and Catskill region,
our local awareness allows us to create spaces that are visually stunning, supportive of local ecosystems,
and resilient to local environmental challenges.
Design process
We design by hand as much as possible. Digital tools are important to the process, but sketching allows for spontaneity that best captures the energy of a future landscape.
Before installation begins, we lay out planting areas, stake tree locations and map areas for hardscaping. This helps form a cohesive understanding of garden zone proportions and interconnectedness of the property.
We work closely with local and regional suppliers whose high quality landscaping materials and plants are essential to the execution of our work.
Regional sourcing and local talent
We utilize regional stone yards and quarries for hardscaping materials. We partner with local artisans
and craftspeople to create bespoke project elements.
We are intimately involved throughout the installation process and execute our work
with superior attention to detail. We care deeply about what we do and make sure the work is
thoughtfully composed and stays true to the shared vision.
Skilled excavators, masons, and planting crews execute our vision. We visit nurseries to select plants, trees, and shrubs for their vitality and structure.
