The studio
Landscape is a US landscape architecture studio working on civic ground, campuses and river corridors. We survey soil, water and light before we draw, specify regional native planting, and stay on site through five years of establishment.
Trusted by public agencies, colleges and conservancies

How we work
We survey the ground before we draw a line
Most landscapes fail for reasons that were visible on day one: the wrong soil, water arriving faster than the design assumed, a maintenance load nobody costed. We start with measurement, so the drawing answers the site rather than the mood board.
- Artistic designsEnjoy working with designers who add the details that make a truly exquisite design.
- No contractor headachesWork with a single company and forget about contractor and building headaches.
- Long-term durabilityKnow your project is built with high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship.
- Industry-leading warrantiesFull peace of mind with a limited-lifetime warranty on hardscaping projects.
Landscapes that are measured, not just planted
Year six at Halstead — planting closed, maintenance halved
Measured outcomes
Every project leaves with a monitoring plan, and we report against it annually. That means gallons retained, acres under stewardship, survival rates at year three — numbers a board can read.
It also means we find out when something is not working while there is still time to fix it. Establishment is the part of a landscape most studios are not there for.

“We used Tussey Landscaping for a donor funded project at Cambria County Library and couldn't be happier with our results. They turned an unused area with overgrown shrubs and grass into a fully functional, gorgeous patio space that can be enjoyed by our community. For a business or a homeowner, I can't imagine a better outcome than working with Tussey Landscaping.”

Hardscaping“We have a significant slope in our backyard which was a downside to the property, but Tussey was able to turn it into a masterpiece. They are truly landscape artists and the results are gorgeous. All the gentlemen working were very friendly and polite. All around impressed!”

Ponds & water features“They recently completed a 30x50 pond for us, along with front and back landscaping, which completely transformed our home. Not only is the final result stunning, but watching them work every day was an inspiring experience as their artistry came to life.”

Ponds & water features“We left it to the professionals to design our water scape. The bubbling rocks and large overflowing vases with continuous flow of water give a tranquil feel. The new stone patio, retaining wall and fire pit is an inviting place to sit and relax while watching the water. The plants, driftwood, bushes, boulders and decorative tree with up lights bring it all together. We love it!”

Outdoor lighting“We recently had an extensive low voltage lighting project completed at our new home by Tussey Landscaping. I couldn't be happier with the professionalism, friendliness, knowledge, vision and expertise that resulted in an end product that far exceeded our expectations!”
