The Studio
Stonehaven is a landscape architecture and design-build studio working between the Hudson Valley, Westchester, and Fairfield County. We were founded on a single belief: that the garden you design is only as good as the people who build it.
How we work
01
Six new projects a year. The same hands on the work from first sketch to the final planting.
02
Our masons are on staff, not subcontracted. The studio owns the quality of every joint, every grade.
03
Planting palettes drawn from the surrounding landscape. We plant for permanence, not for the first photograph.
04
Every project rolls into estate management. The studio that built the garden tends the garden.
