Pellettieri Associates

What Pellettieri Associates does

Pellettieri Associates, Inc. (PAI) is a privately held landscape architecture design/build firm founded in 1983 by George Pellettieri and headquartered in Warner, New Hampshire. The company delivers integrated services across three lines: Landscape Design/Build (master planning, residential design, municipal/institutional projects, permitting, hardscape construction, water features, drainage, irrigation, erosion control, and view management), Fine Gardening Maintenance (perennial garden design, grounds maintenance, seasonal cleanups, and edible/living-wall installations on annual contracts), and Drone Services (FAA Part 107-certified aerial photography, 2D/3D mapping, and view/land planning). Construction project budgets typically range from $100,000 to $2 million; design/permitting engagements start at approximately $7,500; and maintenance contracts run $15,000–$50,000 annually. Drone packages are priced from roughly $800 (real estate photography) to $6,000 (view analysis).

The firm primarily serves affluent residential property owners across Northern New England — lakefront, hilltop, and historic homes in central New Hampshire and the Lake Sunapee region — alongside a secondary municipal and institutional base that includes Plymouth State University, Holderness School, the Decordova Museum, the Lake Sunapee Protective Association, and the Concord-Lake Sunapee Rail Trail. Customer acquisition is driven by referrals from an established allied-professional network (architects, structural engineers, nurseries, equipment dealers) and industry affiliations (AIA, ASLA, NALP, NHLA, GSLA, Plan NH), supplemented by an Instagram presence and the company website's portfolio. The firm has accumulated national recognition through NALP Grand Awards of Excellence (2014, 2017), PLANET Awards of Merit (2007, 2010), Land8 Social Media recognition (2022), and NH Home Magazine and Plan NH accolades.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly project-based one-time engagements (design/permitting, construction, drone services) layered with a smaller subscription-style maintenance stream. The company is founder-led, privately held with no disclosed external funding or institutional ownership, operates a single headquarters within a 1.5-hour service radius of Warner, NH, and employs 11–50 people. PAI has 40+ years of operating history and no patents, AI/ML capabilities, app, API, or disclosed revenue figures in the source materials.

• OLIN: Multi-disciplinary landscape, urban-design, and planning practice with comparable institutional and cultural-landscape work — a peer on design caliber and recognition rather than on regional market.
