Design With Nature - Andes's Local Landscaping

Our principal designers have over 40 years of collective design experience, with more than a decade specifically focused on the Catskills. David brings a background from Cornell University and work with acclaimed firms, while Melissa has over 25 years restoring and maintaining local gardens. We understand the region's climate, soil, and native plants, ensuring designs that are both beautiful and resilient for Andes homes.

We address lawn fungus and yard drainage with eco-sensitive practices tailored to the Andes area. For drainage, we use landscape construction techniques like grading and erosion mitigation, informed by David's coursework in New York State flood plain management. For fungus, we focus on preventive maintenance and soil health, avoiding harsh chemicals. Our permaculture training also helps us create balanced, sustainable landscapes that reduce these issues over time.

Yes, we offer tree care services and planting, including fruit trees, with expertise in the Catskills. We consider local factors like soil conditions and wildlife (e.g., deer protection) to ensure healthy growth. Our experience includes aesthetic pruning and maintenance, so your trees not only survive but thrive in the Andes environment.
