I’m writing to just offer an “after years of use” thank you for the design work you did for us. We thoroughly enjoy our backyard! I’m sitting on the side patio with the little rock fountain while my daughter talks to me and jumps on the trampoline. It’s so pleasant to be out here. The plants have grown in so handsomely and it’s peaceful and delightful to live in.

In addition, we’ve hosted multiple soccer team parties with parents and kids and the yard works beautifully for those events! Kids take to the upper level, use the turf strip and the trampoline, and parents tend to land on the lower level, hanging out with food and drink and getting in the occasional round of ping pong. When the kids want a change of scenery, they run around to the front yard for tetherball in the driveway and some tree swinging, or to huddle on the chaise loveseat on the porch. Everyone has space to stretch out and enjoy themselves and do their own thing.

So thank you!

Mary designed a beautiful palette of plants for our garden and took into consideration proportion of plants--both quantity and size. She paid great attention to every detail from balancing the colors to selecting plants that bloomed at different times of the year to insure we have a beautiful garden all year long. She's professional, enjoyable to work with, punctual and she always responded in a timely manner. She's a great listener and clearly understood what we were looking for. We love what she has designed for us and highly recommend working with her!

Mary was simply amazing. Mary added lots of value by talking at a high level about creating usable spaces in my backyard. She also recommended quality products (which I would not have been able to find or visualize on my own) and ways to use color to make a statement and create a sense of style and serenity. On top of that, we had lots of fun exploring ideas.

Mary did a fantastic job...designing a transformation from concrete and brick into a beautiful landscape that complements the house, enhances the neighborhood, is easy to maintain, and satisfied (importantly) building department requirements. She was easy to work with, flexible, understanding of the project requirements and creative. Her ability to work with the planning department was a tremendous benefit as well.

Landible is fantastic to work with. The design consultation was full of great ideas and elegant solutions to the challenges we are seeking to solve in our outdoor space. We felt heard and valued and left feeling excited about the next steps. Landible helped us define and prioritize our goals. The garden developed during the design process fits the vision we have for how we want to enjoy our outdoor space. Landible helped us envision different configurations that would achieve this vision, along with suggestions for materials we had never even heard of that would reduce the ongoing maintenance.

In outdoor design, a landscape architect plays a pivotal role, transforming spaces with a harmonious blend of creativity and expertise. Their deep knowledge of site planning, environmental systems, and design shapes each project with seamless intention and care. With an eye for clean lines and sculptural elements, landscape architects craft serene, functional landscapes that reflect understated elegance and organic simplicity. Working closely with clients, they refine visions into grounded, contemporary spaces, navigating regulations and collaborating smoothly with other professionals. They bring a balance of refined minimalism and practical warmth to every outdoor space.

From serene urban retreats to expansive landscapes at the edge of wilderness, our residential work spans a wide spectrum. Each project reflects our process-driven approach, thoughtfully adapting designs to be in tune with both the distinct qualities of the land and the personal needs of those who call it home. Rather than focusing on a singular stylistic approach, we prioritize a harmonious process—crafting spaces with refined minimalism, clean lines, and organic simplicity that seamlessly integrate contemporary warmth and understated elegance into every project.

Costs for hiring a landscape architecture studio are shaped by the scale and complexity of the project, reflecting the skill and insight that licensed professionals bring. From a deep understanding of the site’s subtleties to careful documentation for construction, we provide thoughtful, complete solutions at every step.

In the early stages, like pre-design and concept development, we prefer an hourly rate—offering flexibility when the scope is still unfolding. You only pay for the time spent. Once the vision is clear, we shift to a fixed fee, ensuring transparency and straightforward expectations. Any changes are documented and move forward only with written approval. This approach keeps the process smooth and aligned, allowing us to focus on delivering exceptional results, free from unexpected financial hurdles.

At the heart of the landscape architecture process lies the collaborative engagement with a diverse range of professionals, including trusted contractors, engineers, designers, artists, architects, client representatives and consultants. Understanding and respecting the knowledge of other professionals is a cornerstone for executing projects to the highest standards, marked by meticulous attention to detail and precision.

The path of a landscape architecture project is shaped by various factors—size, complexity, permits, and the environment. We collaborate closely with clients and their team to set clear, achievable timelines, ensuring steady progress and open communication at every stage of the project.

A landscape architecture project begins with a thoughtful consultation, where we listen closely to clients' aspirations and carefully assess the site. This personalized approach sets the stage for a tailored design plan that aligns seamlessly with both vision and budget, guiding the project with clarity and care through every phase until completion.
