Yael Lir Landscape Architects

At Yael Lir Landscape Architects, we believe that the art of landscape design has the power to uplift and heal the human spirit. As a practicing licensed landscape architect with a Master's Degree in Horticulture, our principal and founder, Yael Lir, has performed extensive research into various aspects of plant growth and development internationally for over a decade. Our team is dedicated to creating natural, aesthetic spaces where people can live, play, create, and get inspired.

We start every project with a careful study of the site. Our goal is to connect the environments and create a space that not only enhances the natural beauty of the area but also promotes sustainability. Acutely aware of our planet's limited natural resources, we are extremely creative in maintaining and enhancing the natural treasures on each and every project with limited environmental waste. This skill and ability have earned us the prestigious Innovative Sustainability Awards.
