About
Saraga Taylor Landscape Architects is a husband and wife team living and working in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
We specialize in residential outdoor spaces and enjoy working on projects that range from small to large scale within the GTA and Cottage Country.
Taking the challenges and complexities of each site in stride, our goal is to craft highly functional and environmentally sensitive designs that reflect a thoughtful approach and contemporary aesthetic.

We aim to create elegant and welcoming landscapes in which friends and family can relax, entertain and enjoy the subtle joys of being outdoors surrounded by beauty.
