About
Our mission is to design sustainable landscapes that enhance the architecture on site and fulfill the aspirations of our clients.
We create naturalistic gardens with strong structural elements. The practice was established in 1993 and while most of our work is in Fairfield County, Connecticut, we have undertaken projects in several states. We seek to create harmonious environments that are enduring and contribute to the well-being of our clients and the natural world around them.
Our work was featured in ‘Humming with Activity’ in the May 2022 issue of Cottages and Gardens.
