OUR VISION WHO WE ARE WHAT WE DO

Everybody needs a little bit of wild.

At Studio Wild Landscape Architecture, we are committed to designing a world in which human beings and wild systems thrive side by side. We believe access to nature is a right and a necessity for people of all ages to thrive and be happy. We take seriously our responsibility to protect and restore natural systems within designed landscapes, both for the sake of non-human life and because these systems make human life possible. Through our design process we seek to explain the ecological and biological principles behind our solutions and foster a wider understanding of the potential in any site to have a positive impact on people and the planet. 

What We Do

We work with homeowners, business owners, architects, and developers who share our passion for creating beautiful outdoor spaces where both people and nature can thrive. Our services cover all stages of landscape design, from site assessment and masterplanning to detailed design, permitting, and construction documentation and observation. We collaborate with local contractors who are committed to craftsmanship, integrity, and sustainability.
