Go Back

At Oxbow, we provide land improvement and conservation development services to architects, builders, developers, ranchers and land owners for both private and public sector projects. This includes the improvement of natural ecosystems such as streams, wetlands, and forests in addition to landscape design and construction. Our design philosophy is based on the principle that nature knows the difference between a man-made park and a biodiverse natural ecosystem and you will too.

When it comes to working in natural areas, Oxbow leads the way working in wet, steep and forested terrain. We have unique skills and experience and are known for always getting our projects done safely, on time and on budget. We also have a long history in guided tourism and visitor experience having worked in National Parks around the world which allows us to bring a unique value in the process of creating your dream property.

design & master planning

Our role is to simplify the process of bringing your vision to life. Depending upon the unique needs of your project, we design certain aspects in-house or at times we work with a talented team of collaborators to capture a special creative skill of other architects, interior designers, and builders.

site development

Oxbow typically self performs all aspects of site development, especially in mountainous and sensitive natural environments. We install infrastructure such as utilities, roads and bridges in addition to earthmoving and the installation of foundations for any buildings or residential homes.

landscape construction

Whether your landscape plan is designed by Oxbow or another talented landscape architect, we handle all land sculpting, plant and tree installations, irrigation systems, rock walls, ponds, seeding and sod, and any other aspects for installation of the landscape plan.

river, wetland, and forest improvement

Our experienced staff are true specialist when it comes to the improvement of streams, rivers, lakes/ponds, and forested ecosystems with a focus on enhancing the vitality of natural systems. We also do fire mitigation and forest health improvement in the steepest of mountain terrain.

safe haven

In these uncertain times, it's important to have a place where we can seek rest and refuge from the fluctuations of society and the volatility of global supply chains. We design and integrate the use of solar and other off-grid capabilities into you current or planned development so you can be self sustaining if the need arises.
