We love to create sustainable landscapes using native and deer resistant trees, shrubs, and perennials.

John Kelly is an APLD certified landscape designer.

We focus on consultation and design, although we have done many installations ourselves. The main focus of our company is to help people develop a plan that is right for them which they can then install themselves or price it with a number of contractors (so it’s apples to apples).

John worked at Faddegon’s Nursery in Latham from 1987-2002, training as a nurseryman, landscape foreman, and designer with his own installation crew. John has worked all over Albany’s Capital District and is familiar with all of the soil types and challenges, including deer, which we have here.

Laura’s background is from interior design, specifically kitchen and bath design/installation. She was an operations/shipping/receiving manager and her talents include space planning, outdoor room design, lighting, and client interviewing.

We are practical people and thoroughly interview our clients to find out their needs, wishes, and goals and help them have their own landscape oasis in this turbulent world.

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.*
