Extremely grateful to have been selected as @phillymag 2025 Best Landscape Architect. There are so many talented landscape architects within our industry, it feels nice to be recognized as part of that conversation.
We started Good Grounds during the dark days of Covid, uncertain of how everything would play out. Fast forward 5 years and we have an incredible book of clients, wonderful projects, and strong relationships within the industry.
Here’s to many more years of doing what we love!

There’s something fulfilling about breaking out the trace paper, pens, and colored pencils as you start to explore the design. In this new AI frontier, it is nice to honor the old way.
We start all of our projects sketching, then develop them into realistic renderings. We utilize all mediums and technologies throughout the design process.
Swipe right to see the design process. We take pride in doing all of our design work in-house, keeping connection to client and designer strong.
Stone, steel, and timber —crafted to feel as timeless as the land it sits on.
This isn’t just a home. It’s a perspective.

Shown is a concept for a new project tucked into the heart of the dune in Avalon, NJ. Our approach for this property was natural wood materials, native plantings, ultimately to blend into the dune harmoniously.
70 degree days in the forecast here on the east coast, we made it!

A behind the scenes look at how we develop our designs from first site visit, to concept sketch, to technical plan, to rough 3D model, to final rendering.
SWIPE to see the different phases of design.
It is quite a process but the finished result is always amazing to see! Here at Good Grounds we pride ourselves on producing home cooked, hand crafted designs that we take from start to finish with our clients.
This is an exciting new project on the books for 2026!

Kicking off 2026 with a special project on the boards.
We have been tasked with dreaming up an outdoor living space from a totally clean slate. Included is a new pool house, swimming pool, spa, terraced patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchen, this project has a little bit of everything!

This once-humble cottage has been completely transformed — with fresh plaster and paint, new siding, and a stunning custom wood cathedral ceiling on the new screened-in porch. Follow the flow down to a full bar beneath the deck on the covered patio — the ultimate setup for year-round entertaining. Beyond, a private fire pit awaits, nestled within the farm’s tree-lined serenity.
A bucolic hideaway made for gathering, unwinding, and getting away from it all.

It truly takes a village to bring a design from the concept phase, image sheets, and construction documentation all the way to a new construction home on install day. We are so grateful to be teaming up with @georgetticonstruction on this beautiful project and can't wait to see the finishing touches unveil real soon. Stay tuned… ✨ #casaalmare
