Core Design Essence
Ceres works as a single, connected team from design through construction, planting, and long-term care. Through Ceres+ and Ceres Landcare, we carry ideas forward with continuity — ensuring landscapes are thoughtfully designed, well built, and responsibly cared for over time.
Design Build with Ceres
Choosing a design–build relationship with Ceres means clarity, accountability, and shared responsibility. Nothing is lost in translation. Decisions are informed by real-world experience, costs are understood early, and the same people who design and build your landscape remain invested in its long-term success.
Because we maintain what we build, we design and construct with the future in mind — creating landscapes that grow more resilient, functional, and meaningful through the seasons.
How we work
A Connected Design–Build Relationship
We work in a continuous relationship from design through construction, planting, and care. This alignment allows ideas to stay intact and landscapes to be built with intention and foresight.
Design That Responds to Place
Our design process begins with listening — to the land, climate, architecture, and the people who will live with the space. The result is a clear design intent rooted in place and use.
Building for Longevity
Our construction teams focus on the foundational elements that allow landscapes to thrive. Because we remain responsible for what we build, we avoid shortcuts that compromise long-term success.
Planting as Living Craft
Our gardens reflect the intersection of artistry and horticulture. Plant palettes are shaped by microclimate, site conditions, and seasonal rhythm — designed to mature gracefully over time.
Irrigation as Infrastructure
Irrigation systems are designed and built alongside construction, tailored to each landscape. These systems are maintained by the same teams who built them, ensuring consistency and adaptability.
Stewardship & Ongoing Care
Dedicated Account Managers walk landscapes regularly, addressing issues early and maintaining clear communication. This feedback loop allows us to continually refine how landscapes are cared for.
Voices
What clients say
Ceres is a very professional and organized landscape design, installation, and maintenance company. This level of work is especially great for property owners such as myself who are new to an area and not on site all the time. I am looking forward to future projects and a long term relationship.
