Founded in 1982, our philosophy incorporates a "botanical garden" approach fused with the historic and classical formal garden design framework, creating exotic and thoughtful design solutions. The elegance of classic gardens immersed in lush tropical foliage; the serenity of a garden; the intrigue of a secret jungle path; the splendor of a fountain; the grandeur of a formal vista. SMI is a landscape architectural design firm specializing in master planning, garden design, landscape preservation and restoration, botanical gardens/parks, civic and commercial master planning.
