CEO
Steve Griggs—not all landscape designers are created equal and Steve is living proof. For dirty jobs that require engineering, plant science, and innovation, he is the landscape architect to call. With decades of experience that span hundreds of homes, lots of spray cans and dozens of worn out boots, Steve is THE GUY when you want more than a pretty garden.
Steve is a creatively candid craftsman who enjoys a good cigar and the media loves him https://stevegriggsdesign.com/press-media/ . He’s a two-time recipient of the INC 5000 Award https://www.inc.com/profile/land-design-studio . He’s appeared on Bravo’s Backyard Envy, Good Morning LaLa Land https://vimeo.com/320562773 , and Grant Cordone’s Power Players https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOBmdfcZiwI . Forbes https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbesbusinessdevelopmentcouncil/people/stevegriggs/ , Huffington Post https://www.huffpost.com/entry/11-ways-master-entrepreneurs-make-unhappy-customers_b_587f9c4be4b06a0baf64922e , and The Wall Street Journal have all featured him in their publication.
Steve is highly regarded in New York and surrounding states, but he’s spreading his wings to take on clients in other parts of the world. What keeps him in demand is that after damn near 40 years in the industry, he’s still creative and innovative. He knows that his clients deserve a space that suits their lifestyle. It’s no wonder he’s trusted and accepts the challenge to design for multi-million dollar home owners.
Always looking to add a personal touch, Steve’s portfolio https://stevegriggsdesign.com/portfolio/ includes hidden gems like a 1200lb moss covered boulder that reminds a client of his favorite fishing retreat. Then there’s the handpicked 25’ evergreens from South Carolina that turned good neighbors into great neighbors. Memories and privacy are just a sample of the innovative approach Steve Griggs provides.

His book includes his creative candor on working with other landscape designers and contractors.
