The Olmsted Brothers

The Olmsted Brothers were influential landscape architects in the United States, primarily active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Founded by Frederick Law Olmsted’s sons, John Charles and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., the firm continued their father's legacy of designing naturalistic public parks and urban spaces. They are known for projects like the design of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and various state parks. Their work emphasized harmony with nature, community accessibility, and aesthetic beauty, significantly shaping American landscape architecture and contributing to the creation of environmentally conscious public spaces.
