About FireSky.

The FireSky Mission: Reinventing Landscape Design/Build

The mission of FireSky Outdoor is to create better quality landscape and outdoor living projects, while simultaneously delivering a more meaningful experience for the client. Empowering the Landscape Architect in a Design/Build environment, we believe, is key to carrying out this mission.

At FireSky, the Landscape Architect is enlisted right at the beginning of the consultation and landscape design process. Additionally, to achieve a seamless experience in which the Landscape Architect oversees the entire design and construction process, start to finish, FireSky positions the Landscape Architect to project manage the project by also holding a contractor’s license.
