Baldridge Landscape is design build firm whose services range from design inception to final installation. The design process begins with a dialogue between the designer and client, informed by the architecture, the genius of the place and the natural environment. Our goal is to seamlessly blend the exterior with the interior of the site. Detailed attention is given to our clients’ needs and the ultimate use of the landscape. Cedar Baldridge, landscape designer and owner says: “I chose to study landscape architecture in Scotland, at the Edinburgh College of Art, as it is the only art college in the world that offers a course of study in landscape architecture. I wanted my landscape studies to be based in a historical context. The history of art and design in landscape is very important to me, from both a technical and inspiration standpoint. The knowledge I gained studying the historical English/European landscapes has left an indelible footprint on my design principles. I continue to be inspired by the landscape design movements from: •17th century France’s Andre Le Notre with the introduction of the Baroque Movement in landscape •18th century England’s Lancelot “Capability” Brown’s notion of a natural green space •19th century’s Gertrude Jekyll and Sir Edwin Lutyen’s arts and crafts movement In the United States, I studied landscape architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Career Discovery Program. There I furthered my knowledge of the American landscape beginning with Fredrick Law Olmsted the father of American landscape architecture, through more contemporary landscape architects such as Martha Schwartz.”
