Where Art Meets the Landscape
DGD Landscape Design based in Rye, New York creates custom outdoor spaces for homes in Westchester County and Fairfield County, with select projects in Southern Vermont.
The DGD studio designs landscapes that balance thoughtful composition with the evolving beauty of living materials.
Projects include planting design, stonework & patios, grading, outdoor living, complete landscape planning and more.
From initial concept through installation oversight, DGD collaborates with master craftspeople creating designs that feel intentional, and deeply connected to their surroundings.

The Design Process
A clear, design led process from the first site visit through installation oversight.
01. Initial Consultation
An on site meeting to evaluate the property, discuss goals, and establish the direction for the project.
02. Design Development
Scaled landscape concepts are developed for the site, with materials, layout ideas, and visual direction shaped around the property.
03. Presentation & Review
The design is presented for review along with preliminary cost guidance, so decisions can be made before installation begins.
04. Installation Oversight
Once approved, David stays involved through installation to help ensure the finished work reflects the original design intent.
