LaGuardia Design Group (LDG) is an award-winning landscape architecture firm recognized for its site-driven approach, creating landscapes that integrate seamlessly with architecture and the natural environment. Founded in 1993 in the Hamptons, the firm has grown to include a studio in New York City, with work extending across the Hudson Valley, New England, Florida, and the Caribbean. Its portfolio spans high-end residential properties as well as a growing body of commercial, institutional, and public projects.

At the core of LDG’s philosophy is a deep respect for land; its history, topography, and ecological systems. Each project begins with a rigorous analysis of existing conditions, allowing the design to emerge organically from the site itself. Whether restoring coastal bluffs, revitalizing former agricultural land, or shaping civic and cultural spaces, the firm approaches every commission with a commitment to environmental stewardship and long-term resilience.

LDG’s portfolio spans a diverse range of project types, from private estates and waterfront residences to public parks, cultural institutions, and campus environments. The firm is particularly adept at navigating environmentally sensitive and technically complex sites, often integrating native planting strategies, stormwater management systems, and habitat restoration into highly refined, contemporary landscapes.

In the commercial and institutional realm, LDG brings the same level of craft and narrative-driven design that defines its residential work. The firm collaborates closely with leading architects, developers, and cultural organizations to create landscapes that not only support programmatic needs but also elevate the identity and experience of a place. Projects are conceived as cohesive environments where circulation, materiality, and planting design work together to tell a story and create lasting impact.

LaGuardia Design Group’s work is distinguished by its balance of artistry and technical expertise. Locally sourced materials, often hand-selected, are paired with thoughtful grading and landform strategies that respond directly to the site’s natural contours. This sensitivity to place results in landscapes that feel both intentional and timeless.

LaGuardia Design Group remains committed to designing landscapes that invite, inspire, and endure; creating spaces that are as ecologically responsible as they are visually compelling.
