Dale Design, Inc., founded in 2010 by Registered Landscape Architect Dennis J. Dale, is a design studio dedicated to creating beautiful, functional, and meaningful public and private spaces. Our passion lies in transforming visions into vibrant realities through thoughtful collaboration with clients, architects, engineers, and a diverse range of specialists.

A Holistic Approach to Design

Our team combines the expertise of landscape architecture, botany, and art to ensure each project is meticulously planned and thoughtfully executed. We believe that the best designs emerge from a deep understanding of our clients' needs and aspirations, coupled with an awareness of the surrounding environment. Dennis J. Dale's extensive experience, spanning over 30 years, encompasses a wide range of project types, including commercial, academic, municipal, residential, and historic landscapes. This breadth of experience allows us to approach each project with a unique and insightful perspective.

Beyond Aesthetics

Our design philosophy extends beyond merely creating visually appealing environments. We prioritize functionality and sustainability, ensuring our designs seamlessly integrate with the existing landscape and enhance the quality of life for those who use them. We are committed to incorporating native plant species, promoting biodiversity, and minimizing our environmental impact in every project we undertake. In addition to landscape architecture, Dennis brings his talents as a fine artist and a trained botanist to the table. This unique background allows him to not only visualize inspiring designs but also deeply understand the complexities of plant life and its interaction with the environment.
