A note from Liz
Since my early days growing up in the Hudson River Valley, I’ve enjoyed gardening, art and design and when I discovered the field of landscape architecture at Cornell University, it seemed like a natural fit. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of working at many of the leading design firms in the country, from California to New York City, including David Thorne Landscape Architect, West 8, Thomas Balsley Associates, Hollander Design, and more! In the process, I’ve designed a wide range of projects, from college campuses and city parks, to private estates, backyard gardens and rooftop terraces. I’ve enjoyed it all!
But the truth is… I had always dreamt of having my own firm and designing unique outdoor spaces for my own clients, guiding them through the design and planning processes, tuning into their personal goals and finding new ways to create beautiful, meaningful spaces, that are just right for them. Alas, in 2017 with 20+ years of experience under my belt, I hung up my OWN shingle and opened my landscape architecture studio in Brooklyn, NY.
It’s been a wild, wonderful ride ever since!
One of the best parts of my job is seeing your excitement grow as we begin to discuss ideas and possibilities for your spaces. In time, as my team and I get to know your particular goals, we’ll create a plan that’s uniquely customized for you and your space. And all of those years of experience help me to guide you through the full course of a project in a smooth, timely manner- from planning and budgeting to construction. As your project winds down and the last plant gets planted, you’ll feel like it’s the icing on the beautiful and delicious cake we’ve designed and planned together.
So what’s next? We’d love to hear more about your project!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY…
The garden has been transformative. Liz helped us create a garden, which feels like an escape, an oasis, a secret garden. Every week it feels like something new is blooming and gets more magical. Liz has a wonderful eye, is incredibly patient, passionate, conscientious and very detail oriented. Incredibly easy to work with.

I love the garden we've created together. Liz understood the importance of the garden as a place for relaxation to me. She was very attuned to my aesthetics and came to me with fun, creative options. She understands how to get the work done, is very detail-oriented, reliable, and professional and I’ve really enjoyed working with her.
-Christiane, Townhouse Garden, Brooklyn, New York
We’ve really enjoyed working with Liz and her team. We feel in very good hands. We’ve worked with many consultants professionally and personally and their team really stands out. We have found them to be delightful and service oriented in every aspect, from clear and thoughtful updates, to general organization.
-Alexis and Aaron, Hudson Valley home, Ancram, New York
Working with Liz on our home has been a pleasure- and a very collaborative process. As someone who has worked with many designers over the years, it’s very important to find the right people and the right fit- especially when it involves our home. We're very excited by the garden spaces that are coming to life around our home now.

WHAT OUR COLLABORATORS SAY…
It’s been a pleasure collaborating with Liz and helping clients with a townhouse and garden renovation. Liz and her team developed great ideas early on and they are very much team players. They’ve kept in close touch with us and the general contractor, throughout the project to coordinate all the technical aspects of the process and continue to keep the clients informed throughout. We would highly recommend working with Liz and her team on your garden project.
-Perla Delson and Jeff Sherman, Delson or Sherman Architects, Brooklyn, New York
Liz is a skilled designer and team player. We worked together on a complex project with grand ambitions which her team handled deftly. Their passion for both the project vision and execution details is clear and makes working through challenges enjoyable. The project is much more successful for their insightful contributions.
-Simon Arnold, Arnold Studio, Brooklyn, New York
In my nearly 40 years of construction and real estate development, I have come to find that the most valuable contribution a single consultant can make to a project rests in their ability to collaborate as a team member. Liz has always exhibited cooperation and professionalism in her management of a project, equally capable working with ownership, construction managers and lead consultants as she is with trades. I have never hesitated to call upon her for her creativity. She is a problem solver and a creative designer and I am certain that she will bring quality and value to any project.
-Bill Wen, Project Manager, Asset Services, Cushman & Wakefield, New Jersey region
As an exterior lighting designer, I was lucky to work with Liz on a Sag Harbor home. We hit it off instantly with our shared love of outdoor environments and belief in how transformative outdoor lighting can be. Since then, we’ve collaborated seamlessly on many projects, each becoming better than the last. Over the years, Liz has assembled an excellent and creative team, building a reputation as a firm who designs spaces their clients enjoy for years to come.
-Scott Armusewicz, Senior Lighting Designer, Hampton Lights, Southampton, New York
It’s always a pleasure to work with Liz and her team transforming landscapes. They have an amazing eye for bold presentation. It’s all in the details, designs, and contrasts for them- from foliage and texture in plantings, to beautiful, functioning hardscapes- creating spaces their clients love spending time in. Liz and team remain involved throughout, always encouraging feedback with us, to ensure the project is a success.
