Paxton Gate is a design and construction company that focuses on landscaped exteriors, accessory structures, restaurants and retail design. Their designs evolve out of questions of functionality, the needs and desires of their clients and the awareness that the endeavor will impact the space for years, if not decades. Because they are also builders, the realities of construction start in the conceptual stage, thus ensuring that the end design is achievable and can be built within budgetary parameters. Working with a design/build firm affords the opportunity to see the project through from inception to completion in the most efficient and cost-effective way.

Paxton Gate enjoys using reclaimed materials, not only to reduce their impact on the planet, but because of the inspiration to be found from working with objects whose past life has left them with a story to tell. Paxton Gate's designs gravitate toward contemporary, simple and clean lines but never sacrifice character for the sake of stark modernity. While the design team under Paxton Gate owner Sean Quigley and lead designer Todd McCrea embodies the old adage that form really does follow function, everyone is keenly aware that poetry is most often found in the simplest of details.

The members of this diverse team have backgrounds in landscape architecture, general contracting, architecture, fine arts and combined bring 40+ years of field experience to each project.
