Services
Landscape Architecture
Our landscape architecture practice creates functional, aesthetically pleasing outdoor environments. We specialize in integrating natural elements with built spaces to enhance usability and ecological value. Our team develops comprehensive site plans that address circulation, planting, water management, and hardscape elements while maintaining strict adherence to project budgets and timelines.
Green Infrastructure
We design green infrastructure solutions that manage stormwater naturally while enhancing urban environments. Our expertise includes green roofs, rain gardens, and permeable pavements that reduce runoff while creating attractive public spaces. These systems improve water quality, reduce heat island effects, and provide habitat for urban wildlife through evidence-based design approaches.
Healing Gardens
Our healing gardens are specifically designed to promote physical and mental well-being through nature-based environments. We incorporate accessible pathways, sensory-stimulating plantings, and restorative seating areas that cater to diverse populations. These spaces are particularly effective in healthcare settings where nature exposure aids patient recovery and staff stress reduction.
Urban Plazas
We transform underutilized urban areas into vibrant public plazas that foster community interaction. Our designs balance aesthetic appeal with practical considerations like accessibility, durability, and maintenance requirements. Each plaza incorporates unique design elements that reflect local character while creating flexible spaces for events, relaxation, and daily use.
Green Roofs
Our green roof systems combine architectural innovation with ecological benefits. We design both intensive and extensive green roofs that provide insulation, reduce energy costs, and manage stormwater runoff. These living systems incorporate specialized growing media and plant selections tailored to each building's structural capacity and environmental conditions.

Questions
What makes your firm different from other landscape architects?
We combine 30+ years of national leadership experience with personalized service as a mid-sized boutique firm. Our team holds specialized certifications in sustainable design and healing environments that larger firms often lack.

We excel in healthcare gardens, green infrastructure, urban plazas, and public parks. Our portfolio includes award-winning projects for medical facilities, educational institutions, and municipal spaces.
