At Adam Woodruff LLC, we specialize in planting design, ensuring that every composition is both artful and ecologically attuned. Our process goes beyond aesthetics—we craft dynamic, immersive landscapes that evolve over time. From concept to execution, we collaborate with leading landscape architects, horticulturists, and installation specialists to bring each project to life.

Planting Design

Plants are at the heart of every project, shaping the landscape’s character, atmosphere, and ecological function. Thoughtful planting design offers a powerful way to define space, enhance seasonal interest, and meet a client’s goals—whether through dynamic, high-impact compositions or more restrained, textural arrangements. Regardless of scale, planting design can be a transformative tool, creating immersive and enduring landscapes.

Master Planning & Project Development

A landscape master plan serves as a comprehensive guide for the development or transformation of a site, presenting a cohesive design vision that can be implemented in phases based on budget and project priorities.

Landscape master planning is typical of most projects and requires the expertise of a licensed landscape architect or other qualified professional to address technical aspects such as site planning, construction documentation, permitting, and project oversight. When these services are needed, we assist in identifying the appropriate professionals, who will contract separately with the client and operate under their own agreements. These professionals may provide additional services, such as representing the client at hearings, managing bid coordination, and overseeing construction administration, as required.

Our role in the master planning process is to collaborate closely with the landscape architect and other professionals to ensure that the project is infused with a distinctive planting vision, aesthetic cohesion, and a site-responsive approach. We focus on integrating plant-driven design principles that enhance the overall composition and atmosphere of the landscape.

Learn more about our Design Process

A well-established garden is more than just design—it requires thoughtful plant selection, precise installation, and ongoing stewardship to reach its full potential. To ensure the integrity of each project, our design services are exclusively provided in conjunction with:

Plant Procurement

We source the highest quality plant materials for each project through established relationships with reputable nurseries and growers. For large-scale projects, perennials and grasses may be custom-grown with adequate lead time to meet design specifications.

• Site Visits to Nurseries – Selection of specimen trees, large evergreens, and shrubs.
• Quality Control Visits – Ensuring plant materials meet project standards.

Installation Oversight & Site Coordination

We coordinate with installation specialists and/or the client’s staff to ensure a seamless installation process.

• Delivery Coordination – Oversee the receipt and temporary care of plant materials on-site.
• On-Site Layout of Plant Materials – Ensure accuracy in plant placement based on the approved design.
• Installation Oversight – Supervise installation for adherence to design intent. (Note: Adam Woodruff LLC does not provide installation services.)

Construction Phase Support

For large-scale projects, a licensed landscape architect or other qualified professional is responsible for construction administration or project oversight. During this phase, we coordinate as needed to:

• Address questions related to the implementation of the planting design.
• Maintain the aesthetic vision and planting integrity throughout construction.
• Participate in site meetings with the landscape architect, contractors, and clients (virtually or in-person).
