2023 marks my 36th Spring as a landscape designer here in Albany’s Capital District.   I have field experience with almost every conceivable residential landscape situation and have learned what works and what doesn’t. Let Laura and I bring our 50 years of combined experience to your next project.

What kind of  Design Help Do You Need ?

I need a few hours of help
I need a landscape plan for a larger project

What we do is more similar to a landscape architect’s role rather than a contractor’s or builder’s.  Clients pay us for our time and expertise in helping them create their outdoor spaces, whether it is a simple perennial border 2 hour consultation or a multi-year hardscape master plan installation.

In turn we are your advocates and provide objective, realistic advice fine tuned for your budget and goals.  Since you are paying us for our time we can take that time and create something special and unique to your home or business.

  • Planting the project yourself?  We’ll provide you with all of the information you’ll need to purchase and install your project.
  • Do you need a detailed landscape master plan that lays out your entire property in realistic phases, step by step?  You’ll be able to obtain multiple quotes with our scaled plans and plant lists.

We are members of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers , Ecological Landscape Alliance  , and WildOnes.org.  We help our clients create more sustainable landscapes by:

  • Reducing emissions and costs of pruning and watering by using the right plant in the right place.
  • Using native or plants where possible; they consume fewer resources and provide more consistent food and shelter for pollinators and other beneficial insects.
  • Partnering with several native plant nurseries to provide native perennials that typically can’t be found for landscape use.
  • Planning our outdoor spaces in advance to save time and money that can be used for the greater good of the community.  Building higher quality hardscape outdoor elements that will last and won’t clog our landfills prematurely.

Please spend some time on our site reading about and understanding our services before you contact us :). We are not typical landscape contractors, and usually do not provide installation services (we do not do the work). Our primary focus is providing landscape consulting and design plans. Our clients range from homeowners doing simple plantings themselves to clients needing a comprehensive master landscape plan that will take years to implement.*
