Design in harmony with Chesapeake Bay by experienced landscape architects

We guide faith-based institutions concerned about our common home in designing sustainable sites for reflection and community for their congregations. Additionally, our pro-bono work has included community gardens, shelters, and institutions that uplift the individuals they serve.

We are experienced in guiding K-12 schools in creating master plans, sustainability plans, gardens,  and courtyards. Having worked with diverse schools across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., we bring a deep understanding of school process, procedures, and stakeholders to the design process.  

Place Matters balances elegant  design approaches with a bold commitment to vital and healthy ecosystems. Our designs provide habitat, food sources, and shelter for wildlife, and at the same time integrate  seasonal beauty, color, and form to create a wholistic setting that respects the Chesapeake Bay.
