Bringing beauty, sustainability, and healthy living within reach.

Landscape design,
grown in place.

Meadows, kitchen gardens, and apiaries in the Hudson Valley. Remote design work anywhere.

Welcome to Lagrange Rouge

Read the land first. Every project starts with what's already on your property, not a template. The slope, the soil, the tree line, or where your bees already want to fly.

Documented, every time. Field notes, design plans, and visit reports, always in writing. You know what was done and why, without having to ask.

Billed transparently. Hourly work, materials at cost, and your sign-off before anything gets purchased.

Design

Meadow, kitchen garden, and pollinator plantings for homes and small properties. In-person work in the Hudson Valley, remote design elsewhere.

Every project starts with your land. The slope. The soil. The trees along your boundary. What grows there today, and what would thrive beside them. The design follows from those specifics.
