Nature designed for your enjoyment
Landscape plans for homes, farms, schools, and community spaces — from concept to creation. Principal designer Juliana Ruggiero draws your outdoors as precise, hand-drafted plans, beautiful enough to frame, and can stay through construction until it's built exactly as drawn.
№ 02 — The Studio
Most landscape plans arrive as cold CAD prints. Juliana's arrive as hand-drafted technical drawings — inked and dimensioned by hand, precise enough to build from, beautiful enough to frame. And because she manages the construction herself, what gets built is what got drawn: grounds with room to breathe that never feel empty, made to be enjoyed every day — not just admired from the drive.
Trained in botanical illustration. Every plan, section, and planting study is drafted by hand, in ink, and dimensioned to build from.
Whole-property composition — arrival, garden rooms, meadow, water — resolved as one picture, for homes, farms, schools, and community spaces, generous or compact.
Keep her through construction and she runs the bidding, sets the plan out on site, and stands with the crews through every phase. The drawing is the contract.

KEEP SCROLLING — THE DRAWERS OPEN
№ 04 — The Master Plan
Beneath every line is rigor. Move across the plan — each numbered zone is a discipline, resolved together so the property works as one composition.
№ 05 — Services
One studio carries your project from the first conversation to the finished plans — and, if you choose, all the way through construction.
It begins with listening. Over a few meetings we learn your desires, dreams, and needs — and whether we're a good fit — before a single line is drawn.
The artistic and the technical work: hand-finished, inspirational drawings you can frame — and dimensioned plans precise enough to bid, permit, and build from.
With the final drawings in hand, you're ready to bid and build. Or retain the studio further, and Juliana manages the whole build — bidding to final walk-through.
№ 06 — Method
Two hours on the property with you — measuring, observing soil and light, understanding how the space gets used, and talking through ideas and solutions.
A written report on your property's conditions and what Juliana recommends — usually with a mood board and a few early sketches to set the direction and style.
Planting plans, hardscape, decks, and construction details, finalized in phases — dimensioned, specified, and ready to bid. Plus a detailed colored rendering of an area or two, finished enough to frame.
The relationship can end with the drawings — or continue. For an added fee, Juliana runs the bidding, sets out the plan on site, selects materials, procures and places the plants, protects what's already growing, and manages the crews to the final walk-through.
№ 07 — The Work
Selected commissions, named for their streets. Photographs to follow as the work — and the plantings — come in.
Two city blocks of plantings in a parklike community setting. One alley, three ways: the site as it stands, the pencil sketch, the colored rendering.

№ 08 — The Designer
She holds a BFA from the Cornell University College of Architecture, Art, and Planning, and trained in the John Brookes method of design under Duncan Heather at the Oxford College of Landscape Design.
After twenty years designing and building beautiful spaces for friends and family, she founded Bluefield & Stone in 2025 — bringing together her interests in art, faith, gardening, farming, architecture, permaculture, natural patterns, and the psychology of space. She believes an environment should be functional, beautiful, and designed for the people who live in it to enjoy and thrive.
