About
With more than thirty years of experience, we provide comprehensive garden design, installation, and ongoing maintenance, guiding each project from initial concept drawings through site preparation, stonework, hardscape construction, and planting. Our commitment extends beyond completion, ensuring that every garden continues to mature and thrive through thoughtful, attentive care.
Our work encompasses a wide range of landscapes, from formal gardens featuring clipped boxwood, elegant stone walls, refined hardscaping, and tranquil water features to naturalistic native pollinator meadows, orchards, productive vegetable gardens, and custom greenhouses.
We believe that a successful garden should be both beautiful and functional, reflecting the architecture of its setting and the individual lifestyle, interests, and aspirations of its owners. Whether creating an intimate garden retreat, a welcoming outdoor entertaining space, or a productive landscape that connects people with nature, we approach every project with creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.
Whenever possible, we incorporate organic gardening practices and environmentally responsible solutions that promote healthy soil, biodiversity, and long-term sustainability.
Our philosophy combines thoughtful design, skilled craftsmanship, and horticultural knowledge to create distinctive outdoor spaces that evolve naturally over time. From the first sketches to years of seasonal care, we work closely with our clients to bring their vision to life and ensure their gardens remain enduring sources of beauty, enjoyment, and connection with the natural world.
Brian Grubb
I studied architecture at Cornell, where I first began to understand how profoundly outdoor spaces shape the way we experience buildings. Over time, that curiosity evolved into a fascination—almost an obsession—with gardens and the unique quality they bring to architecture. To me, a garden is never just a backdrop. It sets the stage for the architecture, reinforces its intent, and gives a place its personality. When the relationship is right, the landscape and the structure feel inseparable.
I’ve always felt a strong desire not only to design but also to build. Creating landscapes offers a rare blend of challenge and opportunity: the clarity of a drawn vision combined with the unpredictability and beauty of living materials. Being involved throughout the entire process—concept, design, construction, and refinement—is essential to me. It ensures that every detail supports the original vision and that the finished landscape truly belongs to its site.
Listening is at the core of my work. Every client lives differently, values different experiences, and imagines their environment in a personal way. My role is to understand those nuances and translate them into solutions that elevate their lifestyle while creating spaces that feel grounded, intentional, and enduring.
