OEHME, VAN SWEDEN | OvS

Oehme, van Sweden & Associates (OvS) is a professional practice of landscape architecture established in 1977 and a Women Business Enterprise. For more than three decades, the firm has been committed to artistic design solutions that balance sustainable practices with concerns about life-cycle costs and maintenance. Our appreciation of nature and its processes inspired the firm's widely recognized "New American Garden" style. The approach is based on the year-round qualities of the natural environment and is driven by a deep understanding of natural science. The results are both beautiful and practical: OvS landscapes require less maintenance, no pesticides, and limited water and fertilization, they continue to function as a vital component of existing eco-systems while serving the needs of people.
