About Richard Hartlage Land Morphology

Richard Hartlage Land Morphology is a Landscape Design professional based in Seattle, WA, serving Mercer Island, Kirkland, Bainbridge Island, Bellevue, Seattle.

Land Morphology is a USA-territory-spanning landscape architecture studio based in Seattle, Washington. Land Morphology, founded by Richard Hartlage, is comprised of a diverse group of landscape architects, designers, urban planners, and horticulturists who create remarkable spaces that arrive at the intersection of beautiful built form, fine horticulture, and the fine arts. All spaces are distinct, colourful, intentional, and ecological. With over 30 years of experience designing landscapes of every size and kind, Land Morphology approaches each project with the care and thoughtfulness it deserves — whether creating custom site furnishings such as the Seibert and Rice "Birds and Bees" terracotta pots, or conceptualizing large, public gardens like the Chihuly Garden and Glass and Herb and Vegetable Garden at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. In our view, great landforms are a process to be cultivated and tended, not static milieus where design dies the day the last shovel of soil is packed. We use our extensive experience, knowledge, and passion for horticulture and management to continue shaping and nurturing every site through growth and change.

I hired them to build a custom fire pit and a gazebo. While the initial 3D rendering was impressive, the execution was disappointing. Delays and poor communication marred the project, leaving much to be desired.
