Home & Garden
Our Services
Every great community is comprised of neighborhoods and homes with history, context, and character. We believe that your home and landscape should be beautiful, functional, and an expression of your identity - it should facilitate your lifestyle and provide a place of respite and refuge. The front yard of a home has the potential to foster neighborhood pride and facilitate a strong sense of community. At Io we understand how to strike the perfect balance between personal and communal identity.

Outdoor Design
We work with homeowners who want their yards to express their personal identity and facilitate their lifestyle, while also being ecologically friendly and water-wise.

Historic Gardens
We identify, document, and preserve historic landscapes to design for homes and districts where the integrity of original historic landscapes are often lost.

Carriage Houses
We plan and design carriage homes that compliment your historic home, optimize the site, and meet municipal zoning and historic landmarks requirements.

Curb Appeal
Curb appeal is the essential first impression of your home that conveys your personality and style. Having great curb appeal increases not only the value of your home.

What our clients are saying...
Andy Monaco
It was such a great pleasure working with Shalae and Io LandArch on not only one, but two EM:HE builds! She was able to listen, and hear, our needs as the client, quickly turn around a clear, cohesive plan, and execute that plan and vision during the install of the landscape. The final landscaping product truly complimented the architecture of the house and successfully blended traditional garden motifs with contemporary styling and modern amenities.
Amelia Jones
Io worked with me over the course of a winter to develop the ideas I had for my yard and the vision I had for living in it. They added artistic and historical elements that are appropriate for the style and time period of my house. I appreciated their monitoring of the installation process so that the end product was as successful as the exciting plans suggested it would be. I am really happy with the results.
Lauren Weiss
I wanted to drop you a line to say a big thank you to you and your team. Our yard is exploding with plant growth, all the grasses and sages are so happy. Zack, who wanted to sell the house before because he hated the maintenance now loves sitting in his little private grass zone and watching the bees. This yard is already bringing us so much happiness ❤️🌱
