Christensen Landscape Services, LLC is a full-service landscape design-build and maintenance firm based in Northford, Connecticut, founded in 1981 by H. David Christensen. The company serves residential and commercial clients across New Haven, Middlesex, and Fairfield counties, offering a scope that spans garden design, hardscaping, masonry, carpentry, custom water features, fire pits, pools, retaining walls, gazebos, and full estate maintenance.
Lead designer Donna Christensen, a graduate of the College of William and Mary and the New York Botanical Gardens School of Landscape Design, brings formal design education to a firm where that credential is relatively uncommon. She and David lead a team that includes managers, designers, carpenters, masons, and certified landscape gardening professionals — a multi-disciplinary staff structure that allows the company to handle complex design-build projects without subcontracting the specialty trades.
Christensen is a NOFA Certified Organic Landscape Supplier, meaning the company is certified to perform sustainable and organic landscape design and maintenance using practices that prioritize soil health, reduced chemical inputs, and environmentally responsible land management. This certification is meaningful for homeowners with pets, children, or a preference for landscape approaches that minimize synthetic pesticide and fertilizer use.
The hardscape capabilities at Christensen — including concrete finishing, stone masonry, and on-site carpentry — give the firm design flexibility that is relatively uncommon at a landscape contractor of this scale. They can build nearly any outdoor structure in-house without a general contractor, which simplifies project coordination and reduces the risk of scope gaps between trades. The company also offers 3D rendering and construction drawings, allowing clients to visualize finished designs before breaking ground.
Christensen has been voted Best Landscaping Company by readers of the Shoreline News and has received multiple industry awards for design, installation, and maintenance over their four-decade operating history. For Connecticut homeowners looking for a landscape firm that can take a project from initial concept through construction and into ongoing maintenance under one roof, Christensen represents an established option with documented design credentials and a broad service offering.
