Let’s Talk
At Inhabitect, we’re committed to sharing our knowledge of green stormwater infrastructure and ecological landscaping with our clients, collaborators, and community. We’d love to discuss your ideas and how we can help.
Since 2013, Inhabitect has been rooted in environmental responsibility and resilient design. We work collaboratively with clients and stakeholders to integrate nature-based solutions that enhance both landscapes and rooftops while supporting a more sustainable future. From concept to completion, our experienced team guides you through every stage of design, construction, and maintenance.
We’ve got a keen understanding of horticulture, landscape architecture, engineering, and architecture, as well as the know-how to bring your outdoor spaces to life. We’re also serious about our environment’s health and creating resilient, sustainable communities to support it.
With experience in green infrastructure and landscape design, construction, policy-backed consulting, and project management, we’ve learned to look at things differently.
Partnering with a design-build firm eliminates the headache of managing multiple designers, contractors, or trades. Inhabitect manages everything—from site analysis and design to budgeting, installation, and maintenance.
Our team blends horticulture with the technical expertise of landscape architecture, civil engineering, and construction. With clear communication and a collaborative approach, we deliver efficient, cost-effective solutions.
From early concepts to large-scale site plans, our work restores habitats, embraces native plants and materials, supports pollinators, and integrates green stormwater infrastructure—bringing sustainability to life in every project
We design, build, and grow ecologically friendly landscapes using native plants, sustainable practices, and green stormwater infrastructure. From residential gardens to commercial installations, our work blends beauty with biodiversity. Each space is thoughtfully crafted to manage stormwater runoff, support pollinators, create habitat, and improve soil health. Every project reflects our commitment to resilient, low-maintenance landscapes that exceed expectations and thrive for years to come.
We transform rooftops into vibrant vegetated spaces and dynamic outdoor living environments. Whether it’s green roofs, pedestal pavers, or amenity decks, our rooftop solutions improve building performance, biodiversity, and aesthetics. These systems manage stormwater, increase the value of the building, extend the life expectancy of waterproofing membranes, reduce urban heat island effect, and create functional outdoor spaces. With thoughtful design and expert installation, we bring life to commercial and residential rooftops.
Our natural shoreline services protect waterways by using soft-armoring and bioengineering to stabilize banks, slow runoff, reduce erosion, and restore habitats. We combine coir logs, native vegetation, and strategically placed aggregates and boulders to build living systems that evolve with their environment. Whether on high-energy lakefronts or lower energy inland lakes, our solutions safeguard your property and support resilient ecosystems.
Developers, homeowners, and municipalities rely on drone technology for accurate mapping, site analysis, and project tracking. Inhabitect’s certified drone team delivers high-resolution aerial surveys that streamline design, reduce costs, and improve decision-making.
Our licensed operator captures precise data without the cost of traditional surveys. By integrating drone mapping early, we help prevent errors, boost design efficiency, and ensure a smooth transition from concept to construction.
Our Stormwater Treatment Train philosophy uses a combination of resilient and ecologically mindful landscape installations — like green roofs, rain gardens, green walls, porous paving, and other bio-infiltration systems — to effectively capture, filter, and evaporate your excess stormwater. The result: aesthetically pleasing landscapes that deliver a slower and reduced volume of runoff.
A green roof — or vegetated roof, garden roof, living roof, or eco-roof — is a multi-layered system of plants, lightweight growing media, and other geotechnical components that are installed over a man-made, waterproof membrane. It's the most popular form of Green Stormwater Infrastructure and helps transform a rooftop into a beautiful amenity space.
A rain garden includes native shrubs, perennials, and other vegetation, planted together within depressions in the landscape, usually along a natural slope. It's designed to allow for a large portion of stormwater runoff to soak into the ground rather than rush by, preventing erosion and other issues downstream.
Rooftop Living — also known as rooftop amenity spaces, sky terraces, or rooftop decks — transforms underutilized rooftops into vibrant, functional environments. These spaces can feature seating areas, greenery, outdoor kitchens, and more, creating a unique extension of livable space while enhancing urban sustainability and well-being.
Through an ecological and sustainable approach to landscaping, we use design practices that are rooted in long-term success. We employ native plant materials in our installations to manage stormwater, eliminate the cause and effects of erosion, and create natural habitats that encourage biodiversity and environmental richness.
A green wall is a vertical, vegetated surface that can be installed indoors or out. It brings a dramatic design element to any project, with the added benefits of increased air quality and stormwater management.
Green street installations use a combination of vegetated and permeable surfaces to provide a resilient system that supports a municipality's existing stormwater infrastructure. Used at street level, they reduce and slow down stormwater runoff volumes while increasing infiltration rates into native groundwater systems.

Natural shorelines couple eco-friendly components and plant materials together in a bioengineered system that provides a natural, vegetated buffer between your commercial or residential property and its neighboring body of water. It's an eco-minded solution that stabilizes a shoreline while protecting its ecosystem.
