LeBlanc Jones Landscape Architects, Boston, Massachusetts

Douglas Jones, of LeBlanc Jones Landscape Architects, received his nomination, in Works, from the Boston Society. The landscapes envisioned by Jones are beautifully resilient, fresh and vibrant. His mastery of sculptural gradation, fine detail and carefully balanced proportion is evident in his mature designs, known for their subtlety and refinement. Growing up in Idaho, Jones was inspired by its varied landscapes and topology, which have helped infuse his work with the sculptural and dramatic qualities of natural landforms. Beautiful, functional and ecologically sensitive designs flow from his thoughtful integration of the design and site with their broader context. His awarded work spans across New England and New York and extends to the U.S. Armed Forces Garden in Caen, France. Through pro bono work he continues to demonstrate that landscape architecture is a necessary yet often overlooked component of a built environment that shapes better communities.
