About Field & Fern

Campus landscapes that stay legible.

Field & Fern plans courtyards, stormwater gardens, and tree collections for schools and civic campuses across the Pacific Northwest. Our drawings pair planting plans with maintenance budgets facilities teams can defend.

Field-tested process

Soil borings on day one

We test infiltration and compaction before we promise rain gardens that actually drain.

Walks with grounds crews

Mowers, arborists, and our designers mark root zones together so maintenance stays realistic.

Irrigation as a last resort

Native palettes and mulch schedules are modeled for the first five summers—not just opening week.
