Legandary Landscape Design with Steve Gr...

Eric Goranson
About this episode

I have always said the best project start out with the best planning. We sit down with legandary landscape designer Steve Griggs. Steve is not your typical landscape designer. He’s been getting dirt on his hands ever since he was 16, cutting grass to earn some bucks. Working hard got him through school, where he got advanced landscaping degrees from Mississippi State University and SUNY Cobleskill College of Environmental Design and Horticulture.

He founded Steve Griggs Design when he was 25. Having previously worked with his father in the industry, he got some powerful values instilled in him: make no excuses, keep your promises, respect the deadline, and make things happen for the client. But what he saw happening in the industry was a different story.

He decided to change the status quo for good. This customer-centric approach got him the reputation of the best landscape designer in New York.

We sit down and talk about what makes a project turn out the best and what you can do to improve your space. For more information: https://stevegriggsdesign.com/
