Since our inception in 1975, McDugald Steele has integrated a full suite of landscape services that encompass creating, constructing and managing many of the finest residential and commercial gardens in our region.
Our services start with a client's vision and our thorough appreciation for the site and its architecture. We often work hand-in-hand with architects, interior designers, and other experienced consultants to create design concepts and turn them into master plan documents.
Through actively listening and careful planning we can create outdoor rooms that compliment and extend interior living spaces that are ideal for outdoor entertaining as well as spaces for quiet contemplation and repose.
