Transforming Land Into Community

The Faux Group, Inc. is a landscape architectural practice owned and operated by Patricia L. Faux. Pat entered into private practice in 1992 with the conviction that good design is a commitment to hard work, a client’s aspirations and inspirations, and process. She has located her offices in West Annapolis, and completed design and planning efforts throughout the Mid-Atlantic region and South America.

With Pat’s vision, The Faux Group has evolved into a technologically advanced practice, delivering useful products, on time, within budgets. The Faux Group is caring of the environment, devoted to great design and driven by process.

We at the Faux Group strive to offer our clients an independent voice, separate from the standard collection of consultants usually brought to a project. We enjoy the collaborative environment of design teams. We endeavor to provide solutions, which stand out as memorable plans.
