We. TRANSFORM. Land.
We believe in the TRANSFORMative power of landscape. We work at all scales, from small private gardens to large master plans. We partner with landscape firms and other consultants, landscape manufacturers and contractors, architects and homeowners, developers and institutions. We collaborate with leaders in other fields, from soil scientists to ecologists, engineers and artists. The landscapes we help create are defined by the character of the land and by the aspirations of those who use them. We approach each client, opportunity, and landscape individually, recommending solutions based on the underlying qualities of each site in coordination with our client's specific programmatic requirements.

Landscape Research and Education
We are focused on studying natural and built environments to understand ecological processes, sustainable design, and human interactions with landscapes. Our research explores topics such as climate change adaptation, biodiversity conservation, land-use planning, landscape construction materials, and installation techniques, and emerging technologies.
Our educational programs train practitioners and students in urban planning, landscape architecture, and environmental and material science, inspired by our diverse range of research and decades of experience.
By integrating scientific analysis with design principles, our landscape research and education aims to inform policies and practices that promote resilient ecosystems, sustainable communities, and aesthetically enriching spaces.
Landscape Consultation
Our passion is building and maintaining landscapes. We are also fascinated by modern tools and technologies that enhance the way we practice our craft. We pride ourselves on being able to transition from dirty hands in the garden to executing sophisticated 3D modeling and printing techniques in the office. All of our tools and experiences have equal value and place. Our most significant differentiator as a firm is that we have done the dirty work on the ground, in the shop, and in the fields, and that we possess the skills and use of cutting-edge technologies to provide the highest level of service. Our landscape consultation services are grounded in our extensive portfolio of hundreds of built landscapes and decades of experience. We aim to collaborate with a diverse range of clients, inclusive of other design firms, to facilitate their aspirations.
Landscape Architecture
We are creative landscape thinkers, well-versed in delivering inovative solutions in response to our client's needs and desires. Our design services are grounded in our extensive experience researching, building, and maintaining landscapes.

About
PATRICK LEONARD PETERSON
Chief TRANSFORMation Officer
Central to Patrick's work as a landscape architect is his ability to identify and draw out the true needs and desires of his clients along with the essence of each site, something that gives his collaborations a particular quality of harmony. He has a holistic approach to design and believes that to succeed; a landscape must first reflect each client while also relating and responding to its surroundings, its history, and the structures within and around it. Patrick’s work purposely abstains from any premeditated vision, superficial theme, or specific style. His work draws queues exclusively from his clients and from each site, where each design solutions goal is one of purpose and timelessness.
With an extensive 26+ year background in horticulture, landscape construction, landscape maintenance, and landscape architecture, Patrick brings a rare combination of pragmatism and a unique design methodology to each project. His highly diverse portfolio ranges from intimate private gardens to community parks and playgrounds to green roofs and expansive public gardens, providing his clients with a unique array of experiences to help inform and customize their vision for their land.
Most importantly, Patrick is a passionate and experimental builder. At his family home in New Albany, Ohio, he and his wife are in the process of TRANSFORMing the landscape around their beautiful classic Georgian home, Sunnyside.
