At Bart Landscape Architecture, we believe that landscapes are living works of art. Guided by a deep-rooted passion for design and an artist’s eye for detail, our firm brings a harmonious blend of natural beauty and intentional creativity to every project.

Our philosophy centers on creating timeless spaces that honor the unique character of each site and client. With a foundation in fine arts and landscape architecture, we design with balance, form, and functionality, allowing light, texture, color, and scale to reveal each space’s natural allure.

With a collaborative spirit and a keen artistic perspective, Bart Landscape Architecture translates vision into landscapes that endure, inspire, and connect. We are dedicated to honoring each site’s intrinsic qualities while crafting spaces that encourage our clients to have a meaningful connection to nature.

“No photo makes justice of what my eyes see every time I sit and contemplate the garden. Such a great work of art. Thank you.”

MEET THE TEAM

MARGIE BART, PLA, ASLA

FOUNDER

Margie is the founder of Bart Landscape Architecture and is a licensed landscape architect in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Virginia. She holds a Master’s degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Virginia and over 20 years of experience in residential and commercial projects. An artist at heart, Margie’s passion for drawing and painting fuels her dedication to the intersection of art and landscape, which continues to inspire her work today.

Margie began her career at Oehme, van Sweden in Washington, DC, collaborating with founders Jim Van Sweden and Wolfgang Oehme on East Coast residential projects. There, she honed her design skills in the New American Garden Style and became adept at finding the harmony between shape, form, space, color, and texture in her landscape designs. Following her time at Oehme, van Sweden, Margie joined Oculus where she managed complex urban projects including The George Washington University, Washington Gateway, and United Therapeutics.

In 2011, Margie made her mark in New York City with Hollander Design, where she rose to Senior Associate and director of the New England Studio. During her tenure, Margie led numerous award-winning projects, leaving an artistic imprint on prestigious locales such as Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, Greenwich, Santa Barbara, and the Hamptons. As an avid equestrian, Margie also designed several horse farm projects, including the historic Sagamore Farms in Baltimore, MD.

In 2022, Margie founded Bart Landscape Architecture to offer her signature blend of artistry and personalized design. From intimate gardens to expansive estates, her firm’s work reflects a unique approach - rooted in artistry, sustainability, and an unwavering attention to her clients’ distinct needs.

  • “Margie - I just got off a status call with Platinum Builders, and must share their comments about the landscape architecture plans you are creating for my house. There were not enough superlatives for them to describe your amazing work, particularly relative to what they are used to seeing. They build very-high end homes in our communities and have not seen the creative beauty and attention to detail (they love the detail!) that your work demonstrates. I feel like I hit the jackpot with this team. You and Irwin (Weiner Interiors) are making this experience even more wonderful than I anticipated and I am deeply grateful!”

  • “In every one of my design projects I have come across people that stand out because of their talent, professionalism, and people skills. Margie Bart has all those qualities. She is gracious, beautiful, kind, and charming. In case you’re wondering, she is the landscape architect transforming the many acres of this property into something truly extraordinary.”

    Samuel Botero, Interior Designer, Samuel Botero Associates

  • “Thank you for putting together such a wonderful landscape design for our property. It made for a stunningly beautiful setting for the wedding celebration last weekend and is something Jim and I enjoy looking at every time we are up at the house. We really appreciate you working through the design with us and your flexibility throughout the process. I cannot tell you how happy I am when I walk around our yard and when I take my walk past the front of our property - it all looks so pretty. Thank you!!!”
