For nearly four decades, Northern Scapes Inc. has been a beacon of creativity, innovation, and excellence in the world of landscaping. Established in 1984, our company has grown to become one of the largest and most trusted full-service landscape companies in the Southern Tier of New York.

The Art of Design

At Northern Scapes, we firmly believe that the foundation of a remarkable outdoor space lies in the ability to integrate the unique needs and desires of our clients. Every project is a collaborative endeavor, an opportunity for us to work closely with you to craft a design that is intricately tailored to your precise specifications.

Our design philosophy is rooted in the fusion of your aspirations with our expertise. We embrace the challenge of breathing life into your vision and consider it a privilege to be entrusted with this creative journey. Our seasoned team utilizes the latest technology to bring your ideas to life in a way that is not only visually stunning but also highly functional.

Seeing Before Believing

One of the hallmark features of our design process is the ability to provide you with full color images of your completed project even before a single shovel hits the ground. This innovative approach is an invaluable tool that allows you to step into the future and witness what your property will look like once our expert team has worked their magic.

Our design program is a comprehensive package that equips you with:

A Plant Key and Labeled Plant Material: We provide a detailed plant key, meticulously labeling each plant material used in your design. This helps you gain a clear understanding of their placement and significance within the landscape.
Document with Plant Pictures and Descriptions: Our package includes an informative document featuring images and comprehensive descriptions of the chosen plant materials. This resource allows you to become well-acquainted with the characteristics and benefits of each plant.
Growth Projections Over Time: The future of your landscape is an integral part of our planning. Our design program offers insight into the expected growth of the plant material over the course of several years, ensuring your landscape remains vibrant and harmonious.
Illuminating Your Space: Proper lighting is the key to making your outdoor space come alive, both day and night. We excel at integrating lighting seamlessly into our designs, whether it's to accentuate key features of your landscape or enhance safety and security.
Before and After - Witness the Transformation: The true power of a Northern Scapes design lies not only in its creation but also in the remarkable transformation it brings about. Through our before-and-after project comparisons, you can experience the astounding changes our team orchestrates. It's a visual journey that serves as a testament to the artistry and expertise we bring to every project.
