Landscape design, installation and maintenance. Our work ranges from residential gardens, rooftops and terraces to fine hotels and resorts. Based in New York City, we are founded on the importance of understanding our clients lifestyle and how best to integrate their needs into the exterior environment. We seek to identify the unique character of every project, and design each space accordingly. We acknowledge the importance of a collaborative approach to design, and easily engage with our clients and other industry professionals. Our in-house installation team brings our designs to life, whilst ongoing attention by our horticulturalists ensure the gardens’ long-term success.
