Our Philosophy

Landscapes are not meant to be observed, but are meant to envelop the whole of our being. They are constantly becoming and transforming, just as we are. Each project is an opportunity to further investigate the intricate and complex world in which we live and try to make sense of our place within it.  We work closely with clients and the existing site to understand the values on the table and the forces at play. We take the responsibility of creating a sustainable, purposeful, and meaningful place seriously, and are determined to create engaging and dynamic solutions.

Landscape Services 

Stauffer Design Studio bases our services on each client’s needs. After an introductory meeting to determine the scope of services, we write a Design Proposal describing the scope in detail and our fees. Some clients just need some plants to fill in a space and are not interested in going through the design process, while some need a full design process culminating in a construction set,  and others just need a planting plan with image boards of suggested plants for their space.

We can locate all the plant material for your project and deliver it to your site. We can help you place plants on site where they are to be planted, and even help you plant them. When it’s time for plants, we supply you with a Plant Estimate that is separate from the Design Proposal. No two projects are the same, we tailor our services to your needs.
