groundwork studio Information

Groundwork Studio’s goal is to take landscape architecture to its full potential in terms of site design coordination, improving overall project synthesis, ecological resilience, functionality, and site specific experience. We specialize in civic, recreational, and educational environments, facilitating understanding of interconnections through safe, accessible, and interactive design for all ages. Our services include site planning, landscape integration, and regionally appropriate planting, soil building, and irrigation design. To maintain a high level of quality and cost control, our standard practice includes efficiency in design fees, complete and accurate construction documents, cost estimating, and proactive construction observation. We approach design as a living, breathing, collaborative process, a transformative progression for the design team as well as the project site. Our active involvement in community organizations and events gives us the opportunity to cross-pollinate ideas, connecting us with experts in our sister disciplines, and making us better at what we do. We are guided by the idea that when we improve our surroundings, we transform ourselves.
