This is what we do…

1. Site Analysis and Assessment

Evaluate the site's existing conditions, including topography, climate, soil, vegetation, and drainage. Analyze the cultural, historical, and ecological aspects of the site. Assess the needs and goals of the client in relation to the site.

2. Master Planning

Develop long-term plans for the use and development of a site. Includes zoning, land use analysis, and future growth considerations.

3. Conceptual Design

Develop initial design concepts, including spatial layout, hardscape, softscape, and circulation patterns. Provide 3D visualizations, sketches, or renderings of design concepts.

4. Landscape Design

Detailed design of outdoor spaces such as parks, gardens, plazas, streetscapes, and private residences. Selection of plant species, materials, and hardscape features. Incorporate elements like water features, lighting, and seating.

5. Sustainability and Environmental Planning

Develop designs that incorporate sustainable practices like water conservation, energy efficiency, and low-maintenance landscapes. Incorporate native plants, stormwater management techniques, and renewable materials. Promote green infrastructure and ecological restoration.

6. Planting Design

Design the layout and selection of plant species for aesthetic and functional purposes. Plan for plant growth, seasonal variation, and environmental conditions.

7. Hardscape Design

Design non-plant elements such as patios, walkways, retaining walls, water features, and outdoor structures (gazebos, pergolas). Select materials that are appropriate for the environment and purpose of the space.

8. Stormwater Management

Design systems to manage rainwater runoff, including permeable paving, rain gardens, bioswales, and detention ponds. Incorporate sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) to reduce flooding and improve water quality.

9. Urban Design and Streetscape Design

Plan and design public spaces, streetscapes, and transportation corridors. Focus on pedestrian safety, aesthetic appeal, and functionality for urban areas.

10. Project Management and Coordination

Oversee the implementation of designs, from contractor selection to construction administration. Coordinate with architects, engineers, and other professionals to ensure the design vision is realized.

11. Lighting Design

Design outdoor lighting schemes to enhance safety, security, and aesthetic value. Incorporate energy-efficient and sustainable lighting solutions.

12. Rehabilitation and Restoration

Restore and rehabilitate damaged or degraded landscapes, including historic sites, ecological restoration, and brownfield redevelopment.

13. Cost Estimating and Budgeting

Provide cost estimates for design and construction phases. Assist with budgeting and finding cost-effective solutions for the project.

14. Construction Documentation

Develop detailed construction drawings and specifications for contractors. Include technical drawings of grading, drainage, hardscape, and planting plans.

15. Environmental and Regulatory Compliance

Ensure the design meets local, state, and federal environmental regulations and building codes. Assist with permitting processes and environmental impact assessments.

16. Maintenance Planning

Create a maintenance plan for long-term care of the landscape, including planting care, irrigation schedules, and seasonal adjustments.

17. Community Engagement and Stakeholder Involvement

Facilitate community input and engagement for public or large-scale projects. Gather feedback to ensure the design meets the needs of various stakeholders.

18. Specialty Design Services

Green Roofs: Designing and implementing green roof systems for sustainability. Playgrounds: Designing recreational areas for children with safety and educational value. Public Art Integration: Incorporating art installations into the landscape design. These services can vary depending on the scope and scale of the project, but they offer a broad range of expertise in designing functional, aesthetic, and sustainable outdoor spaces the we provide
