ABOUT US + DESIGN ETHOS

At Sedge, we work closely with clients to create their ideal landscape while setting a higher bar for ecological design.  We bring expertise in site planning, native plantings, and long-term maintenance to every project. The best outcomes grow from a true partnership between client, designer, site, and ecology.

We design experiences —whether it’s a private backyard, a rooftop terrace, or a commercial site. Our goal is straightforward: build landscapes that feel intentional to use, rooted in nature, place and purpose.

PEOPLE
Wellbeing is a central focus of the Sedge design ethos. In an increasingly constructed world, the importance of a connection with nature is paramount. Highlighting, enhancing, and empowering our tether to the natural world, Sedge landscapes meet the needs of our clients while integrating with the surrounding environment.
PLANTS
Carefully designed plantings are a pivotal part of our design practice. Plants in the landscape are capable of managing storm water, filtering particulate matter, building soils, generating oxygen, providing shade, and providing both food and habitat. Using regional conditions, site specific considerations, and local ecologies as our guides, Sedge designs landscapes that create year-round visual interest while performing ecologically.
WATER
We create landscapes that are designed to thrive without the need for petrochemical fertilizers. We limit the need for irrigation through the selection of regionally adapted native plants that have evolved to grow effortlessly in our climate.
WILDLIFE
A well designed landscape serves the needs of a client while simultaneously embracing the surrounding environment. Creating a landscape with a wide array of plant species at the appropriate density can provide valuable habitat space and foraging material for native small mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and invertebrates. From migratory butterflies to local bat species, our landscapes can perform simultaneously for humans and for a number of other critically important species.
