Business Profile

Natural Elements by Design is a Richmond, RI-based landscape architecture and construction firm specializing in creating naturalistic outdoor spaces that blend seamlessly with their surroundings. With expertise in landscape design, masonry, hardscaping, and water features, we approach each project by listening to both our clients and the land itself.

We serve Rhode Island and Eastern Connecticut with a commitment to craftsmanship that ages gracefully and creates lasting value for homeowners.

Q&A

How can you help with yard drainage problems common in Richmond?

We address drainage issues by designing and installing functional yet beautiful solutions like retaining walls, permeable walkways, and graded landscapes that redirect water naturally. Our approach integrates drainage into the overall design—using features like dry creek beds or strategically placed stonework—so it enhances your property's aesthetics while solving the problem. For Richmond homeowners dealing with soggy lawns or erosion, we create systems that work with the local soil and topography.

Do you handle both design and construction for projects like patios or retaining walls?

Yes, we provide complete services from initial design to final construction. Our team includes landscape architects and masons who work together on projects like patios, retaining walls, and walkways. This integrated approach ensures the design is both beautiful and buildable, with materials and techniques chosen for durability and natural appeal. We handle everything from permits to hand-placing stones, so you have one trusted team throughout the process.

What makes your water features different from typical fountains or ponds?

Our water features are designed to mimic natural ecosystems, using native plants and stone placements to create self-sustaining ponds, waterfalls, and water gardens. Unlike pre-made kits, each feature is custom-built to blend with your landscape, require minimal maintenance, and attract local wildlife. We avoid harsh chemicals and focus on ecological balance, so your water feature ages beautifully and becomes a living part of your yard.
