Our passion is creating landscapes that grow from collaboration — shaped by your life, not a template.
It’s About You
Your goals, your outdoor living vision, and your family’s unique lifestyle guide every design we create. No two projects are alike — we never arrive with preconceived ideas about what’s best for your landscape. Instead, the right solution reveals itself through a collaborative process, where we develop options tailored to your objectives, goals, and budget.
Along the way, we share our perspective and experience so you can make informed decisions about what’s best for your project.
What We Do As Landscape Architects
Symbio Design works with each client to develop landscapes that celebrate your lifestyle and unique sense of style while meeting your project’s functional and technical requirements. This includes custom gardens and exterior spaces for homes, as well as urban, mixed-use, and commercial spaces.
Our passion is working with clients who share our belief that collaboration brings the best solution to any outdoor environment. Through this process, we partner with property owners, architects, real estate developers, and property managers to create custom landscape solutions that deliver a memorable experience.
We specialize in contemporary residential and commercial landscapes — from private gardens for growing families to rooftop gardens, green roofs, and urban spaces — incorporating elements like swimming pools, spas, water features, fire features, and outdoor areas for dining and relaxation.
How Symbio Design Started
