Landscape Architect / Designer - Remote (US Based) Contract Position (10-15 hrs/Week)

  • Contract

Company Description

At Bower & Branch, our Landscape Design Studio creates spaces where families gather, trees grow large, and homes gain lasting value. We design landscapes meant to be lived in — places that support everyday moments, seasonal traditions, and the long-term health of the land.

Large trees anchor our designs. They provide immediate structure, shade, and presence while growing into meaningful, generational features of a home. When thoughtfully placed, these trees shape how outdoor spaces feel and function for decades to come.

We believe the most successful landscapes are beneficial ones. Our designs consider more than aesthetics — they support environmental health, improve usability, and enhance property value. By balancing beauty with purpose, we create outdoor spaces that feel natural, intentional, and enduring.

This studio exists to help homeowners invest wisely in their landscapes — designing spaces that grow alongside their families and strengthen the connection between home, nature, and legacy.

At Bower & Branch, you’ll be part of a team that values craftsmanship, education, and long-term impact, while offering the flexibility and autonomy of remote work.

If you’re excited to grow alongside a company that’s planting for generations, we’d love to hear from you.
