Steele Landscape Architecture

Steele Landscape Architecture is a design firm created from a vision to craft beautiful and expressive places that promote positive impacts on our natural environment and personal health. The firm serves communities and clients across New York, enjoying the varied opportunities and challenges of each project with mindful personal attention and a lot of old-fashioned TCB. Sue Steele, RLA, founded the studio in 2018 after years of experience on park, campus, public arts, and trail projects in both a small design studio and a large engineering practice. Today our firm includes three licensed Landscape Architects with nearly sixty years of mutually passionate design, construction, and project delivery experience on a wide array of project types. Yet, we approach our work with an absolute desire for learning and new understanding, with an ear for listening, and a spirit of partnership. Located in Fairport, New York, we are a boutique firm with diverse capabilities and deliberate in the work we pursue. We practice project mindfulness – meaning we take on projects that suit both our knowledge and curiosities, and those that we know we can deliver in a quality manner that is meaningful to both the client and our staff. Our approach is to focus intently on artistic and organized problem solving, and achieve project success through deliberate thinking about core goals, process, the power of expressiveness, and the true value a design brings to the client and community.
