STEPHEN MEEHAN, PRINCIPAL
Stephen is a licensed landscape architect registered in the state of New York since 1994. He received his Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry at Syracuse University in 1985.
My interest is in developing designs that maximize a site's potential, transforms its negatives into positives, and replaces a mediocre appearance with an exceptional presence. My desire is that each completed landscape will by far surpass my Clients dreams and expectations.
Creating unique and outstanding landscapes has been an ambition of mine throughout my years as a landscape designer. This aspiration first payed off in college, when I was chosen to be a finalist in a "Statewide Student Design Competition" of a government public plaza in New York. Later, with the interest of furthering my studies, I lived aboad for eight months conducting an in-depth study of the streets, plazas and gardens of Europe. That research helped me as a young landscape designer when I began focusing on designing upscale residential properties. As I progressed in my career, first as a landscape designer and then as licensed landscape architect, I have spent most of my time designing the estates and gardens of private residences along Long Island's North Shore and Hamptons areas. Today, I fully enjoy working with all my private residential Clients whether that means designing large luxury landscapes or providing service on small budget projects. Finally, I also have experience with, and get great satisfaction from, designing public space projects for my institutional and commercial Clients.
