Sustainability — the integration of natural systems with human patterns that celebrate place making — is the foundation of our practice. Although groundworks studio works throughout the rural to urban spectrum, we are particularly committed to restoring vitality back to cities. We create imaginative, beautiful, functional and meaningful landscapes that people want to experience.
Our body of work spans a wide range of landscape typologies including college campuses, parks, public art environments, civil rights walkways, historic courtyards and residential gardens. Although our work spans the rural to urban spectrum, we are committed to restoring vitality back to cities.

Our studio believes in a team approach to design; we collaborate with a broad range of design professionals, artists, and craftspeople to make design concepts come to life.
