ETHOS: To create a better future by designing outdoor spaces that harmonize the needs of our Clients and their microecosystems.

At inContour, our clients appreciate a perfect blend of beauty, creativity, and sustainability. As a sustainable landscape architecture firm, we create outdoor spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally responsible and resource-efficient.

Our stunning, eco-friendly designs offer numerous benefits, including improved habitats for pollinators, birds, and wildlife, reduced water consumption, minimal maintenance, lower carbon footprints, decreased wildfire risk, and lower home insurance costs.

This is achieved through the implementation of sustainable design practices and environmentally sensitive strategies we call Smartscaping™. We consider every aspect of a project's eco friendliness and sustainability, from the origin of plants and materials, shipping distances, to the health of soil, and the lifespan of design materials including their eventual end point through compost, recycling, and reuse. As a result, these sustainable landscapes sequester carbon, clean the air and water, increase energy efficiency, restore habitats, and create value through significant economic, social and environmental benefits.

The bottom line: our sustainable landscapes give you more of what you want and less of what you don't. Because of this, our designs are equally appreciated by homeowners, commercial property owners, and municipalities. Let us help you realize a vision of beauty, creativity, and sustainability that you will enjoy and be proud of!
