Steele was born in Rochester, New York, the child of a lawyer and a pianist.

 Fletcher Steele Biography
Steele had to continue to reconcile his client's wishes for gardens like those they saw in their travels with his own desires to elevate the practice of landscape architecture to a fine art.
Steele was one of the last designers of his type, one who cared obsessively about the craftsmanship of his designs, and one who developed long term relationships with his clients.
Through historical analysis, we can see that Steele's ability to look both forward and backward as well as being able to use the ideas and details of the past as inspiration to create the new, is what made him so successful then and so appealing now.

For sixty years, Fletcher Steele practiced landscape architecture as a fine art, designing nearly seven hundred gardens, from Boston to Detroit, from North Carolina to Canada.
Often brilliant, always original, Steele's work is considered by many to constitute the essential link between nineteenth-century Beaux Arts formalism and modern landscape design.
Woven from the diverse threads of voluminous correspondence, project documents, notebooks, photographs, diaries, interviews, and conversations, this richly textured history reads well—no small accomplishment for so inclusive a study.

Steele shares the credit for his masterwork with Mabel Choate (1871-1958), with whom he entered a true collaboration that lasted 30 years.
Steele finished the steps in 1938, and they caused a sensation not only for their bright color, but for the unusual use of industrial materials, concrete and metal -- a hallmark of modernism.
Choate and Steele's last collaboration was the Chinese Garden, which swept away the formal flower beds of the elder Choates' day and replaced them with a miniature temple set on a packed-earth terrace.
