Our passion is creating landscapes that grow from a comprehensive, creative and collaborative approach.

What We Do As Landscape Architects

Symbio Design works with each client to develop landscapes that celebrate your lifestyle, your unique sense of style and accomplish your projects functional and technical requirements. This includes working with clients to develop custom gardens and exterior spaces at their homes and working with clients to develop urban, mixed-use and commercial spaces.
Our passion is working with clients who understand that a collaborative approach brings the best solution to their outdoor environment. Through our process we work with property owners, architects, real estate developers and property managers to create custom landscape solutions that deliver a memorable experience.

We specialize in developing contemporary residential and commercial landscapes that include private gardens for growing families, rooftop gardens, green roofs, urban spaces, with outdoor elements including swimming pools, spas, water features, fire features, and outdoor areas for dining and relaxation.

It’s About You

Your objectives, your outdoor living program and your unique lifestyle and family are the priorities which influence every design we create. No two projects are the same, at Symbio we do not arrive with preconceived ideas about what is best for your landscape. Instead, we allow the design solutions to reveal itself through our collaborative approach where we create options that respond to your objectives, goals and budget requirements. Through this process we share with you our perspective based on our experience to allow each client to make informed decisions regarding what is best for their project.
