Hi there, I’m Amy-Pahl Zeszutek, and I genuinely love to garden. I’m a garden-scaper at heart, specializing in reclaiming, refreshing, and reimagining existing gardens without tearing everything out.

I don’t fit the traditional mold of a landscape designer, and that’s intentional. I love getting my hands dirty, weeding through overgrown spaces, and uncovering what’s been hiding underneath. Often, that discovery is the perfect starting point for a thoughtful refresh. My design process begins with one honest question: how much time do you really want to spend on maintenance? The answer guides every decision. Beautiful spaces should fit your life, not add another chore.

I live in Lake Elmo with my family and was raised in Afton, where I learned to garden alongside my mom. One of my earliest helpers was a pet duck who happily ate worms and bugs while I weeded. Not precise, but very enthusiastic.

I’m grateful to work with a creative, strong, and truly delightful team. Together, we handle the messy work, brainstorm ideas, and bring gardens to life—making spaces that feel good to be in and easy to live with.
