Inge Daniels Design is a design-driven studio practice providing comprehensive landscape architectural services to clients throughout New England. Each project we design is unique, responding to the character & complexities of the site and its ecological systems, and the specific practical and experiential interests of our clients.

//We develop sustainable landscapes that support local ecologies & systems and minimize maintenance.

//We design to enhance your experience of the landscape…as views unfold from inside to out, as you walk through the textures & topography of the land, as vehicles circulate intuitively and safely, as you respond on a gut-level to the phenomenon of changing seasons…

//We believe that - with great planning - the most successful landscapes solutions can be the simplest; we aim to balance function with interest & beauty.

//We enjoy collaborating with clients and design teams to create thoughtful, innovative spaces that are firmly grounded on the practicalities of construction, maintenance, budget & schedule.

**★★★★★ — Curbs Studio, June 2020**

> As a landscape construction company, we could not ask for a better landscape architect to collaborate with while installing beautiful landscapes for our mutual clients. Inge's professionalism makes it both easy and enjoyable to work with her from concept to installation. Simply put, Inge is the perfect bridge between contractor and homeowner, and we always look forward to working with her. Her extensive knowledge of plant species and conservation is beautifully applied in her work. It is an absolute pleasure to be able to contribute towards the fruition of her unique designs which often result in a natural and organic elegance that everyone falls in love with.

**★★★★★ — Success Techniques, Inc., April 2017**

> I represent a design-build remodeling company and have referred Inge to a number of our clients.  She is creative, professional and has an excellent knowledge of materials and applications.  I would highly recommend her services.

**★★★★★ — Michaela Grubbs, April 2017**

> Inge is just plain amazing. She did a whole master plan for us and we could not be more pleased with the result. After years of going out to nurseries, grabbing plants that someone may recommend, planting them and then realizing a few years down the road that we need to move them, or the plants or trees dies because they didnt work in a specific spot, we decided to finally go with a master plan. Inge completely saved us and in the end, she has saved us so much time, effort and money. She really got to know us and understood our taste and our vision while offering her creative vision with plants, trees, flowers, hardscaping and so much more to bring out all new ideas we would have never thought of. Her execution of the master plan was a wonderful process and the final plans turned out beautifully. She was incredibly communicative and very timely.

> Not only is she highly skilled, professional and creative but personally she is a dream. Both are equally important to me when working so closely with someone. She is was so wonderful working with us. She LOVES what she does and it shows. She is such a calm, happy, fun and easy person to work with. I hope for more projects with Inge down the road!

**Comment from Inge Daniels Design LLC:**

> Thank you so much, Michaela. It is always such a pleasure working with you and H. I love how your landscape has transformed since we first completed your master plan. Your landscape is a terrific model for how homeowners can phase the implementation over time in keeping with their priorities and budget.

**★★★★★ — Adam McClain, April 2017**

> Inge put together a landscape master plan for our home. She was excellent at listening to our ideas and must haves. She also had several ideas to offer that helped to bring our project together. She was a pleasure to work with and we will definitely use her again as we bring the plan into reality.

**★★★★★ — bhmccreedy, April 2017**

> we worked with Inge to design our landscaping in the front of our house. The plan including not only plantings but also a new brick walkway and front steps. Inge was so easy to work with. Inge is very knowledgeable in her field and very thorough in her work. She listens well to your wants and compiles multiple plans for you to chose from. Her ability to provide us with a picture of our house with the suggested plantings helped us to easily make a decision as to which plan best suited our likes. We in fact chose the plan that Inge designed herself rather than the plan we thought we wanted.  I highly recommend Inge and plan to use her for a future project.

**★★★★★ — todd ruderman, Nov. 2016**

> Inge is fantastic!  She is extremely talented, has great vision and is easy to work with.  She is timely and professional.  Her recommendations are excellent as well as the subcontractors and professionals she recommends and works with.  Inge stays with the job from start to finish to insure it gets done right and to the clients satisfaction.  I have worked with many landscape architects/designers in the past and Inge is the best of all I have come across.

## Selected projects

- [Modern Habitat Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-habitat-landscape-pj-vj~7613545)
  - Location: Belmont, MA
  - Photos: 10
  - Description: For this property its genius loci - spirit of place - was evident from the start. The previous owners had planted an arboretum's-worth of specimen trees and shrubs that were mature and overgrown. IDDLA's first task was to develop a plant inventory to determine plant preservation priorities: identifying what could be transplanted, what needed to be removed, and what should be protected in place. The spirit of this project is also largely influenced by the adjacent conservation property & wetland,…
- [Wellesley Outdoor Living Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wellesley-outdoor-living-landscape-pj-vj~6194104)
  - Location: Wellesley, MA
  - Photos: 11
  - Description: Uniquely located on a compact corner lot overlooking the Charles River, our clients requested private, outdoor space for cooking, dining & entertaining that would still keep river views open from the elevated house. Our solution is this crisp, outdoor kitchen composed with the warmly contrasting materials of wood & concrete. A road & public footpath lie not 15’ from the dining table and yet - thanks to the kitchen screen and a layer of native planting - the patio feels private & serene. The kitc…
- [Dover Mid-Century Modern Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dover-mid-century-modern-landscape-pj-vj~6744374)
  - Location: Dover, MA
  - Photos: 14
  - Description: IDDLA’s Mid-Century Modern Landscape features an architectural gem of a home nestled within acres of conservation land. We are working with our clients to steward the property including planting successional canopy trees and transitioning areas of lawn to meadows & woodlands. Proximal to the house we've created a series of garden rooms that flow seamlessly from the house and compliment the mid-century architecture.
- [Organic Outdoor Living - Dover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/organic-outdoor-living-dover-pj-vj~6345197)
  - Location: Dover, MA

- [Waban Hilltop Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waban-hilltop-landscape-pj-vj~5698408)
  - Location: Newton, MA
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: Perched on a Waban hilltop, this residential landscape takes full advantage of its spectacular overlook. IDDLA developed a master plan for the property to best locate a new garage, an outdoor dining room, and entertaining spaces; maximize playable lawn area; and facilitate vehicular and pedestrian access while providing privacy on an exposed corner lot. Our design features a firepit and dining terrace that enjoys a vista into the adjoining neighbor's tree canopy and allows easy circulation betwe…
- [Peabody Residence Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/peabody-residence-landscape-pj-vj~2148500)
  - Location: Middleton, MA
  - Photos: 19
  - Description: Set in a dramatic pine wood, the strong architecture of this contemporary residence demands a bold landscape. As a first phase IDDLA considered the front landscape, incorporating selections of mature plantings and hardscape into a lush prairie landscape and developing plantings and hardscaping at the driveway entrance, street screen and woodland edges. Our design contrasts the horizontality and rough stone texture of the seat walls with swaths of native perennials to create a resilient, ecologic…
- [Wellesley Hills Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wellesley-hills-residence-pj-vj~2148120)
  - Location: Wellesley, MA
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: IDDLA is thrilled to have helped our clients with the landscape for their new-build "forever home." We worked closely with the client, builder, architect and environmental engineer from schematic design through permitting and construction. During permitting, our team received unanimous approval by Wellesley's tough Design Review Board and Planning Board with special commendations on the landscape. The landscape design for this corner lot maximizes the striking front entrance and creates a family…
- [Needham Natives](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/needham-natives-pj-vj~2148824)
  - Location: Needham, MA
  - Photos: 11
  - Description: This neo-Georgian house asked for a traditional landscape. Being within the 100' buffer zone of Charles River wetlands, the site demanded native plantings and permeable paving. We combined the two seemingly-conflicting demands into a native riff on a parterre landscape. Our client loves this unique approach. Inkberry hedges enclose a small bluestone terrace that is punctuated by symmetrical red bud trees. Pennsylvania sedge beds interplanted with chelone, liatris, lobelia and daffodils provide m…

## Community Q&A

**Q: Where is this table and chairs from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I'm looking for a dining set for a screened in porch that doesn't look like an outdoor table and has some style like this one!!

A: They are Kay Dining Chairs and Split Dining Table both by Gloster which were sourced from Casa Design Group.

Is it custom-built or store-bought?

A: Thank you. It's a custom design using ipe slats and concrete posts.

**Q: Is that a magnolia?** *(in Photo Questions)*

What's the mature tree height? I love the backdrop, but wonder if this has to be a very small tree when it matures

May I ask where you bought the raised planters? Thx!
