john steuernagel

John Steuernagel is a third-generation ornamental horticulturist with over 30 years experience, carrying on his family’s reputation for thoughtful, quality landscaping. He has a thorough knowledge of all styles of landscape design, and a gift for creating designs that combine utility with aesthetic beauty. He will spend countless hours at the drafting table visualizing and planning your space before ever breaking ground. Once he starts a project, John mentors and leads his dedicated staff through each project. You will not find a designer who is on-site more, from conception to completion, doing what he loves most, which is attentively sculpting nature. He is a multi-faceted artist and master craftsman: a stonemason and hardscape specialist, a carpenter, a mechanic, and a naturalist. John takes great pride in the specifics of his hand-drawn, simple, and graceful designs, and he puts his heart and soul into each garden.

Danielle Steuernagel

Danielle Steuernagel has always been a nature enthusiast, hailing from the woods of Western Massachusetts. There she met her future husband, Sculpt designer and co-founder John Steuernagel.

In this high-stress and fast-paced career, she learned the art of both design and client relations. Eventually, Danielle turned her talents to the family business. Danielle runs the Sculpt office and also works alongside John as an “ exterior designer,” helping dial in the details that match the vision. She finds the highest-quality vendors and understands the latest trends and innovations in design. With an eye for detail and organizational prowess, she keeps each job on track. Danielle is accessible to the client at every phase, from design to building to maintenance.

TESTIMONIALS

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”]

  • I’ve had the opportunity to experience work by John at Sculpt Gardens and I’m blown away by his work! He has a gift for creating beautiful, serene spaces that are inviting and innovative.

    – Sally B.

  • I have had the pleasure of working with Sculpt Gardens on various projects over the past ten years, and have always found them to have a great penchant for designing outdoor spaces that seamlessly fit into the surroundings, while retaining a serene and modern aesthetic. If you are looking for a company to assist with every step of the landscaping process, from design to implementation, look no further as they have created some of the coolest outdoor spaces I have seen in the City. Highly recommended!

    – John F.

  • From our very first meeting with John to the end of the project, he was great to work with. John’s team is great, and they do beautiful work. We wanted something peaceful and lovely for the adults to enjoy as well as a space that was child-friendly, and we ended up with just that. Before Sculpt, we never went out back. Now we have an extension of our home that we really love. Highly recommend!

    – Elle S.

  • Just hosted a backyard party yesterday and our backyard got compliments all around. I love the fact that the yard looks great AND requires so little maintenance. Kudos to the Sculpt Gardens team for creating a space that doesn’t just age gracefully — it actually looks better every year. Now that’s forward-thinking design!
