Wolf Josey Landscape Architects is a Charlottesville, Virginia based practice founded in 2014 with a focus in public parks, college campuses, botanical gardens, and private residences. Guided by the belief that all landscapes meaningfully contribute to communities and the environment, the firm brings a consistent commitment to design excellence and ecological responsibility to projects of all scales, from urban and institutional work to botanical and agricultural landscapes.
The firm’s design philosophy is rooted in both art and science, beginning with careful investigation, evolving through concept and design refinement, culminating in landscapes that are beautiful, functional, enduring, and memorable. Their work synthesizes cultural and ecological context, urban and natural systems with program and user needs to foster strong connections between people and place.
Their experience with campus and horticultural planning, tree framework plans and planting soil design emphasizes the importance of healthy soils and thoughtful planting strategies across all projects, particularly in response to public-use pressures, urban conditions, construction impacts and climate challenges.This work is grounded in a collaborative process that connects architecture and users with the landscape while pursuing the highest level of design.
