Our Process

“It was a pleasure to work with Land Identity, LLC on our recent home landscape architecture project. Gregg listened carefully to what we wanted in terms of aesthetic, practicality and cost. His design delivered. He demonstrated expertise, diligence and flexibility. He recommended skilled and reliable contractors. His meticulous attention to detail from concept to execution was particularly helpful to a working couple like us, who had neither the time nor expertise to manage the project directly. The result was a transformational change that our family loves and enjoys everyday. I would work with or recommend them without hesitation.”
