ABOUT US

We are a Brooklyn-based landscape design and build studio creating thoughtful, enduring outdoor spaces throughout New York City. Our work is rooted in horticulture, craft, and a great respect for how gardens evolve over time. The studio brings together design, construction, and long-term maintenance under one roof, allowing us to guide projects from initial concept through years of care. We believe the most successful landscapes are not just well-designed at installation, but are actively managed as living systems.

 

Our approach balances creative vision with practicality--combining strong spatial design, durable materials, and plant-forward thinking. Whether building a new garden or caring for an established one, we work closely with clients to create spaces that feel personal, resilient, and deeply connected to place.
