Vitruvius once said, ‘Only an architect well-grounded in both theory and practice is properly equipped – not only to prove the propriety of the design but also able to implement it effectively.’ This is stated perfectly. From backyards to island getaways, and clipped hedges to flowing meadows, our dedication is steadfast and our work ethic paramount.

We Design, Build and Maintain Outstanding Residential and Commercial Landscapes
We design with elegance and simplicity to interpret your vision and create solutions.
We build to bring our expertise to your installation. Our expertise is in plants and trees and everything green, but is also in other aspects of outdoor environments like pools, masonry, sculpture, lighting, driveways and carpentry.
We maintain to improve. Our maintenance division offers services so different than our competitors’ services that we’ve come to call ours property improvement instead.
Scott Byron & Co. offers its services to any kind of home, condo or town home and any kind of commercial entity. No scale is too small or too big. If you want an enhanced perennial border, we’ll design and install it. If you want a full master plan for your entire property with pool, outdoor kitchen and patios, we’ll do that, too.
For Architects and Contractors
If you are an architect or contractor, Scott Byron & Co. can assist you by preparing quality site designs and providing beautiful landscape installations. We successfully translate your clients’ visions for their new landscapes into finished products.
Often, we are involved from the very beginning of the architect’s design process. This enables us to utilize to the fullest our expertise in meshing the site’s conditions, the owner’s wishes, the architect’s ideas, and the contractors’ skills into outstanding project solutions. Not only is our work structurally sound and sustainable, it also brings a synergy to the architectural design and structure you have created.


Service Excellence
Everything we do embodies customer service whether we are answering the phone or mowing the lawn, or we are designing or planting trees. While we know from over 35 years with our customers that superior skill and artistry are essential, the other vital ingredient in our work together is how you feel about your experience.
