CLC Landscape Design

What CLC Landscape Design does

CLC Landscape Design is a privately held landscape architecture and construction firm headquartered in Ringwood, New Jersey, founded in 1973 by Richard Cording. The company operates an integrated design/build model serving residential clients in Northern New Jersey — primarily Bergen and Passaic counties — and has completed more than 2,000 projects over its 50+ year operating history while accumulating 50+ industry awards.

The firm's service portfolio spans the full residential landscape value chain: landscape architecture and site design, swimming pool design, patios, decks, fencing, landscape lighting, fire pits, and water gardens, plus an ongoing fine gardening maintenance offering. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time design/build project contracts, supplemented by a smaller recurring-revenue base from fine gardening maintenance engagements.

The firm is privately held by its founder and markets itself across multiple digital channels — Instagram, Facebook, Houzz, Pinterest, YouTube, and Angi — alongside traditional referral-driven demand in its target geographic market.
