Having worked together for 25 years, we have produced a remarkable body of masonry landscaping work. This includes functional elements such as stone steps, walkways, patios, and swimming pools. We take a naturalistic approach in our installations of waterfalls, ponds, streams and Japanese style gardens. We have been featured in several books and numerous publications, including Garden Design Magazine, House and Garden, The New York Times and Architectural Digest.
Check out our Press. The characteristics and requirements of a site must be reconciled with the goals and aspirations of the designers and the client into a single expressive statement. Through the years we've developed a keen sense of which materials will produce the desired results in our masonry landscaping. In addition, a passion for woodworking has lead Jim to making a series of Mahogany jewelry boxes designed for the 2010 Tucson Gem & Mineral Show as well as many pieces of custom furniture.

As a garden editor, I've encountered enough exposed plastic pond liners and red lacquered bridges to know better.
But as soon as I met Richard Cohen and his business partner, Jim Kutz, in Amagansett, NY, and saw their work, I tossed away my prejudices.
Because in their hands, every cliche is avoided.
Their raked Zen gardens somehow feel at home in Long Island backyards; a blue-bottomed swimming pool surrounded by cemented boulders sounds dicey, but theirs looks fun, witty, and wild.
And when it comes to the duo's naturalistic ponds, client Steve Frankfurt says it best: 'The great thing about Richard and Jim is that no one can tell they've been here.'
