Services Offered

We offer a comprehensive range of services that cover all phases of landscape architecture. These include:

• Planning & Analysis: This phase involves comprehensive research, fact-finding, and assessment. By conducting site evaluations, analyzing site constraints and opportunities, and digging deeper into client and end-user needs and goals, we arrive at a design program that guides the project through all subsequent phases.

• Conceptual Design: Is the exploration and vetting of design alternatives that meet the established program. Through the use of sketches, diagrams, and narratives, multiple design iterations are explored. Once a preferred concept is refined, it captures the essence of the end-product, including its spatial organization, circulation patterns, landforms, vegetation, and intended user experience.

• Design Development: The conceptual design is further refined and translated into a site plan form which we can build off of and create a clearer vision of the site.

• Construction Documentation: Is all about the details. The design is further refined and translated into site plans, construction drawings, and specifications suitable for pricing and construction.

• Construction Administration: During the landscape architecture construction phase, services provided include regular on-site visits, reviewing shop drawings, and addressing requests for information. We play a crucial role in ensuring the project is executed according to the intended design and specifications.

• Satisfaction Completed Project: Through innovative ideas, thoughtful planning, meticulous design process and attention to detail, our landscape architecture firm strives to create a project that not only meets the client's goals but also enhances the surrounding environment, resulting in a successful and fulfilling outcome.
