Bayview Landscape Architecture won three Gold awards at the 2025 Long Island Nursery & Landscape Association (LINLA) Environmental Enhancement Awards. The awards celebrate thoughtful design, community impact, and environmental integrity. Bayview is grateful to its partners, collaborators, and clients and looks forward to future projects.

The ASLA-NY Biodiversity by Design Seminar explored strategies for enhancing urban biodiversity, emphasizing the critical role of native plant diversity, ideally comprising 50-70% of urban landscapes, with a focus on climate-adapted species. Experts highlighted the importance of diverse tree populations, advocating for a variety of species of differing ages to build resilience against disease and climate change.

Thoughtful urban design can create vibrant and sustainable environments. Rain gardens offer a powerful example of how we can integrate sustainability into our outdoor infrastructure. The rain garden at the East 161st Street plaza, designed by Bayview, showcases the transformative potential of these green infrastructure elements.

We rarely get an opportunity to partner with a client over fifteen years to execute their vision. What started as a master-planned, gated community with European influences is now entering its final phase of landscape design as the last parcel has been sold.

Concrete has come under scrutiny due to its significant environmental impact. Its production is one of the largest sources of carbon emissions globally, leading to growing calls for more sustainable alternatives. 

The daisy-like flowers of the New England aster give fall gardens a colorful pick-me-up. Plus, they are deer-resistant, great for pollinators and seed eaters and make a great flower for cut arrangements.

We recently sat down with Landscape Designer Julia Walton to learn why she chose landscape architecture and what some of her favorite plants are. Read the interview and get to know Julia a little better. 

You know spring has sprung when the magnolia trees are in bloom. Their large white, pink, purple, dark pink, or soft yellow flowers appear before the leaves, making a welcome addition to any early-season garden.

Get to know Senior Landscape Architect Gerrit Goss a little better, including a pivotal moment that made him want to become a landscape architect.

If you’re headed to East Hampton, Long Island, this summer, you are in for a treat. Bayview is working with Rice Architects to upgrade the visitor experience of a section of this quaint downtown shopping district.

One of our favorite spring flowers at Bayview is the Allium, with its sturdy, long green stem topped with a sculptural ball of dozens of tiny (usually) purple flowers.

After a five-year hiatus, the Long Island Nursery & Landscape Association LINLA Environment Enhancement Awards are back, and we are happy to share that our projects are winners three times over.

Bayview is getting ready to kick off the landscape design for two new projects - Manhattanville and Eastchester Gardens - for New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) properties.

Witch Hazel, likely a mainstay of your grandmother's medicine cabinet, is our pick for adding color to winter landscapes. Happiest in full sun, witch hazel is a flowering shrub with curling yellow blooms that look like a collection of individual threads.

Our favorite part of the Leave the World Behind movie trailer isn't the star-studded cast (Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, Myha’la, and Kevin Bacon), the high-profile producers (Barack + Michelle Obama), or the excitement of seeing the book by Rumaan Alam come alive on screen. It's the very prominent role the project we collaborated with The Up Studio has in it!

We sat down with landscape designer Mackenzie to get to know how she thinks about landscape architecture and what some of her favorite landscape features are. Click through to read the interview.

Solidago Candensis or Canadian Goldenrod (Asteraceae) is a perfect plant to add seasonal color to your garden from late summer to fall.
