Fink Garden Studios offers custom and highly thoughtful landscape designs for residential spaces. Design size can be anywhere from small changes to full scale estate plans and include all aspects of the outdoor spaces including hardscape, soft scape, lighting, kitchens, pool and spa, lakefront, and integration with the interior space.
We always say that every design begins with a conversation. One of the highlights of this job is the opportunity to meet new families and understand who they are, how they live, and begin to envision their space. To begin this process simply reach out through our website or contact info. to coordinate a time to meet with one of our designers. We look forward to meeting you!
Fink Garden Studios offers complimentary consultations to help you explore how a thoughtfully designed outdoor space can enhance your lifestyle. During this no-cost visit, our designers assess your site, listen to your needs and preferences, and discuss practical ideas so you can make informed decisions with no obligation.
Our landscape design service delivers a complete, professional package tailored to enhance your outdoor living in Rochester and the Finger Lakes: detailed full‑scale drawings that articulate layout, grading and hardscape relationships; sketch or high‑quality digital visualisations to help you see the proposed space from multiple perspectives; comprehensive plant and material lists specifying species, sizes and quantities alongside recommended paving, lighting and other finishes; a clear written description of the design intent, objectives and maintenance considerations; and a full, transparent quote covering scope, phasing and costs so you have everything needed to move confidently from concept to construction.
Our design process can vary considerably in duration because we undertake a wide range of projects, from compact courtyard refurbishments to large-scale estate transformations. The important objective is to clarify timeline expectations up front so clients understand the stages involved and any variables that may extend the schedule. We do not produce rapid-fire, run-of-the-mill designs; instead our approach is highly thoughtful and considered, allowing time for careful site analysis, material selection, and collaborative refinement. This ensures that decisions are well informed and the end result is an exceptional outdoor space tailored to the client’s lifestyle and the character of the site.
Fink Garden Studios offers two complementary revisions with each design once the final proposal is presented, allowing clients to fine-tune plant selections, layout details and material choices to ensure the outdoor space fully meets their needs. Should additional changes be required beyond these three revisions, they can be requested for a fee, ensuring clear expectations while still providing flexibility for clients to achieve their ideal garden or landscape.
Fink Garden Studios collaborates seamlessly with architects and HOA-planned developments on new-build projects, integrating outdoor living concepts into the broader construction program from the earliest stages. By coordinating with architects, builders, and other consultants, the studio aligns planting schemes, hardscape layouts and site grading with structural and regulatory requirements, ensuring design intent is preserved while meeting permitting constraints. The result is a thoughtfully resolved exterior that complements the architectural design and build.
