‍ Who We Are

Land by Design was founded in 2003 by Landscape Architect Nigel Staton. We specialize in residential landscape architecture creating landscapes that feel timeless, welcoming, and deeply connected to their surroundings. By weaving sustainability into every detail, we shape outdoor spaces that are ecologically sound, culturally attuned, and built to endure.

Our Design Approach

We see landscape design as a collaborative art—one shaped by listening closely, thinking carefully, and drawing together the disciplines of art, science, and environmental stewardship. This approach allows us to create landscapes of beauty and purpose across a wide range of settings, from civic spaces and institutions to private estates and urban residences. Each is composed to feel both graceful and lived in, inviting moments of gathering and quiet reflection while deepening the connection between people, place, and the land.

At the heart of our process is the creation of meaningful experience. We design immersive outdoor environments that capture the imagination, guided first by a clear understanding of our clients’ vision and a commitment to bringing it to life with care and precision. By responding thoughtfully to the character of a site, enriching the surrounding environment, and remaining grounded in economic reality, we create landscapes that mature beautifully and grow more valuable over time. To us, that is sustainability at its most enduring.
