    A revolution has been taking place in Garden Design which has been called the "New American Landscape", a movement that is both an ideology as well as a holistic application of design principles. This new concept rejects the status quo, the idea that a garden is synonymous with high maintenance involving large expanses of manicured lawns, clipped hedges, and a rigid arrangement of plants. It also rejects the desire to "dominate nature" but instead choosing to reflect the more contemporary attitude of conserving the natural environment. It favors integrating our homes and offices into the drama of our changing environment while bringing nature more fully into our lives. At Landesign we have embraced the notion of low maintenance planting schemes that afford depth, richness, and a diverse pattern of color and texture over the entire year. The end result is a lush combination of ornamental grasses, perennials, evergreens and other species into a visual mosaic of plant communities.

    Landesign is committed to a sensitive application of design and engineering as it relates to Garden Design. We understand how to combine site planning and landscape construction in order to provide our clients with high quality work by professionals in Landscape Architecture. This knowledge of design and materials has afforded us the opportunity to provide unique solutions to the challenges of residential and commercial projects.

    Landesign considers the designed garden as a necessary element to the complete home and office. Our staff operates on the premise that outdoor living spaces should be expertly planned and created with a combination of various elements of plantings, soil, natural stone, water, wood, masonry, and metal. We strive to create outdoor living spaces that are in harmony with the natural surroundings while actualizing your vision and dreams for your property.
