Field to Fork

What Field to Fork does

Field Form is a Brooklyn-based resilient landscape studio founded in 2017 by Samuel Robinson and Line Kaasine that designs, builds, and maintains urban gardens integrating decentralized stormwater management for residential and community clients across New York City's five boroughs. The firm's core offering combines landscape architecture, geotechnical engineering, plumbing systems, and geospatial mapping to produce site-specific drainage solutions such as catchment basins, French drains, dry streams, and subsurface storage, organized under product lines that include Garden and Drainage Design-Build Services, Stormwater Consulting and Hyperlocal Planning, Responsive Gardens, and Flood Resilience Solutions. According to the firm, 241 completed projects collectively divert over 1.25 million gallons of rainwater annually from the NYC sewer system, with individual projects diverting between roughly 10,000 and 90,000 gallons per year. The team of six — two Principals, a Designer, a Lead Researcher, a Lead Gardener, and a Gardener — executes the full lifecycle from site analysis through construction management and ongoing maintenance.

The business model is project-based professional services sold via direct engagement: prospective clients submit property and flood-concern information through the firm's website, after which Field Form conducts preliminary site analysis covering ecological, geological, and hydrological characteristics and produces a custom proposal. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts that bundle design, build, and ongoing maintenance. Customer segments are bifurcated between (i) individual NYC property owners with flood-prone lots, the primary segment, and (ii) neighborhood associations and community spaces seeking collective drainage solutions. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and content-supported, anchored by a portfolio of documented case studies (e.g., Park Slope, Baltic Street, Willowtown Dog Run, the Clinton Hill block engagement, and the Hundred Year Storm Garden in Astoria) and amplified through Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and an email newsletter. Field Form is privately held with no disclosed external institutional investment, and operates exclusively within NYC with no current geographic expansion beyond the five boroughs.

Broad incumbents

• SWA Group: Large, established landscape architecture, planning, and urban design firm with national footprint. Overlaps with Field Form in landscape design-build and urban resilience work, but operates as a broad incumbent across many project types.
• AECOM: Global engineering and design firm with significant landscape architecture and water/stormwater practice. Operates at much larger scale but is an incumbent competitor for larger stormwater design and infrastructure projects.

Direct peers

• James Corner Field Operations: Internationally recognized NYC-based landscape architecture firm (e.g., High Line, Domino Park). Comparable as a high-design landscape architecture studio working at urban scale, though broader in scope than Field Form's stormwater focus.
• OLIN: Philadelphia- and NYC-based landscape architecture, urban design, and planning firm. Comparable in delivering integrated landscape and infrastructure projects at urban scale, though broader in scope than Field Form.
• SCAPE Landscape Architecture: NYC-headquartered landscape architecture and urban design practice with explicit focus on climate adaptation and Living Infrastructure. Most comparable peer in terms of mission alignment (resilient, climate-responsive urban landscapes).
• dlandstudio: NYC-based landscape architecture and urban design practice known for socially engaged public space work. Comparable in geography and design sensibility, though different typology focus.
• Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates: Brooklyn-based landscape architecture firm behind Brooklyn Bridge Park and other major NYC public spaces. Comparable in geography and design-build integration, though operates at much larger project scale and broader typology.
• Biohabitats: Ecological restoration firm specializing in stormwater management, green infrastructure, and watershed-scale resilience. Most directly comparable peer in terms of stormwater domain expertise, though serves larger municipal and ecological projects.
• Starr Whitehouse Landscape Architects and Planners: NYC-based landscape architecture and planning firm with public space and waterfront expertise. Comparable in scale, geography, and focus on resilient urban landscapes.

Emerging players

• Studio Zewde: NYC-based landscape architecture practice with focus on public space and urban ecology. Already a partner of Field Form on multi-property stormwater projects; similar size and stage.
