Our Services

		Parks, Trails and Open Space We provide master planning, management planning and design services for parks, recreation facilities, open space, greenways and trails. Working within the traditions of landscape architecture we seek to use natural processes as the basis for design in urban settings and apply an informed understanding of contemporary needs and uses to the management of natural resources.
		Infrastructure We leverage the construction and maintenance funding associated with roadway and drainage infrastructure improvements to create multiple–use facilities and public spaces. The integration of natural systems and urban infrastructure demands a collaborative design process that balances the need to meet engineering requirements with an effort to take advantage of a given site's potential as a setting for a variety of activities. We recognize the importance of communication between all design and engineering disciplines and seek to create sustainable solutions that celebrate natural systems.
		Site Planning and Landscape Design Our staff uses natural, cultural and/or historical site characteristics as the basis for creating new facilities or repairing damaged or derelict sites. Our projects range from simple water conservation based planting designs to complex urban redevelopment and large scale natural systems management. In addition, we have experience in preparing master planning documents and diagrams that provide decision makers with defensible documentation of public outreach efforts, analysis and policy recommendations.
		Urban Design and Planning We believe that historical site characteristics and development patterns provide the basis for the integration of new development and/or the redevelopment of brownfields or derelict sites. Completed projects range from simple design standards to complex urban redevelopment and large scale natural systems management. In addition, we have experience in preparing master planning documents, design guidelines and illustrative diagrams that provide decision makers with defensible documentation of public outreach efforts, analysis and policy recommendations.
