Successful design is a collaboration between a client with dreams and a landscape architect with vision.
That means taking the time to get to know you and how the outdoors can improve quality of life, whether it’s for your family or your community.
Aside from creating beautiful and unique outdoor spaces, Bayview’s #1 goal is to deliver a more enjoyable experience. That starts with transparency. We want you to know what to expect at every single point in the process.

Greg Marett, ASLA, PLA
Founder, Landscape Architect

After 25 years in the industry, Greg considers himself a steward of the land and he takes that responsibility very seriously. Whether for a family or a community, landscape architecture can have a huge impact on people's day to day lives and when executed properly, create a sustainable environment for decades to come. Greg is equally comfortable redesigning affordable housing campuses, streetscapes and playgrounds as he is private outdoor oases for his residential clients. He has earned a legion of loyal clients through a combination of creative functional design, attention to detail, innovative use of materials, and the ability to listen and respond to client’s needs and goals.
Greg graduated from Cornell University’s Landscape Architecture program with honors, during which time he spent four months studying the great landscapes and architecture of Europe while at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. He holds membership in the Long Island Nursery and Landscape Association (LINLA), New York State Nursery and Landscape Association (NYSNLA) and is an active member of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) New York Chapter. When not at work, you can find him in the kitchen or standing over a barbecue experimenting with a wide range of culinary delights.

His plant knowledge ranges from tropical to Mediterranean to Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern plants.

Joseph Cogliandro Junior
Project Manager

Joseph thrives in translating clients’ wishlists for their outdoor spaces into designs that meld functionality with stewardship of the land and environment. His designs encourage people to linger and enjoy the outdoors. He works with clients throughout the process to help them envision the possibilities for their spaces, permit projects and ensure that construction runs smoothly.
Joseph was hooked on landscape architecture ever since high school when his class was tasked with redesigning the school’s courtyard. He holds a Masters of Landscape Architecture from The Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture, the City College of New York and a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Design, Policy, and Planning from Stony Brook University. When not at work, he is exploring the outdoors in search of different approaches to landscape design. When the weather keeps him inside he is either reading or watching the latest comic-film adaptation to see how it holds up to its source material.
