groundworks studio is a landscape architecture and urban design firm based in Charlotte, NC that is dedicated to the creation and transformation of outdoor human environments.

We strive to reveal the true essence of a project through an understanding of the site's natural features, human needs, creative design exploration and the client's goals. Sustainability — the integration of natural systems with human patterns that celebrate place making — is the foundation of our practice.

Our work is fresh and innovative, utilizing “green” techniques to create imaginative, beautiful, functional and meaningful landscapes that people want to experience over and over again.

Our studio believes in a team approach to design; we collaborate with a broad range of design professionals and artists to make design concepts come to life. Our studio is dedicated to a successful partnership between the client and the landscape architect.
