As climate change manifests, Terra Ferma Landscapes has evolved its process. This begins with a client-facing conversation to ensure that challenges and desires are being met. Sustainability is then addressed by their fine gardening team. “Our projects are focused on soil and plants,” Koch says. “For example, our soil-amending and compost programs allow plants to develop extensive root systems for healthy gardens with reduced irrigation and fertilization needs.”

While the world remained at home over the past year, people did not necessarily stay confined indoors. In fact, many homeowners gained a renewed appreciation for their landscapes and outdoor spaces. As these external relationships evolved, Terra Ferma Landscapes found greater creative inspiration than ever before. “The latest trends in outdoor landscaping revolve around gathering, comfort, family and friends,” says Brian Koch, owner and president of Terra Ferma Landscapes. “We help create spaces and opportunities for our clients that are welcoming, soothing and multifunctional.” The groundbreaking landscape firm also learned that small doesn’t necessarily mean less. “We are often approached by clients with modest properties who are looking to maximize space,” Koch says. “We are thrilled by the challenge and have delivered some exceptionally creative and innovative designs in response.”
