Philosophy

At Nilsen Landscape Design, we are committed to encouraging outdoor living. We believe that access to nature can have a restorative impact on health and well being, and that well designed landscapes are both beautiful and enjoyable. We feel that the landscape offers opportunity to disconnect from the pace of every day life and connect with the natural environment.

Our approach to design is collaborative and iterative, where we will work together to develop a plan perfect for your property. We are not a construction company, though we do have a network of trusted contractors we can recommend for your project. The focus on design allows us to develop a plan that fits your needs, without the incentive of construction revenue. We draw from the native New England material and plant palette to offer landscapes of a traditional aesthetic, with a focus on detail and craftsmanship.

With over twelve years of experience in the corporate environment managing products and projects, Andrea’s unique approach to landscape design combines creativity with project management skills, attention to customer service, and the use of technology to visualize design ideas and communicate project progress. Well suited to working with busy professionals, we make sure the design process is creative and fun.
