A History Rooted in the Work

The archive begins where the palms grow.

Groundworks was established in 1986. The photographs gathered here do not attempt to manufacture a precise chronology. Together, they show the living material, people, planning, equipment, and field conditions that make the company’s work visible.

A heritage page should feel alive, not sealed behind glass.

Rows of specimens reveal scale, structure, condition, and the variation inherent in living material.

Plans on the table

Site drawings place palms in relation to architecture, access, and the sequence of work.

Equipment at the property

Transport and installation photographs show the practical operation behind a completed landscape.

People across the work

The team photograph records the people gathered as Groundworks.

The Story Continues in Motion

The field is where history keeps moving.

Film reveals the scale, pace, access, and coordination that a still image can only begin to describe.

The People in the Picture

Forty years are carried forward by people.

The work visible across the archive comes together through people operating in different settings with the larger effort in view.
