We have designed landscapes and pedestrian spaces for master planned residential communities, Homeowners Associations, multi-family homes, corporate office and campus environments, schools, libraries, churches, public plazas, park and recreation projects, open space and habitat restoration, medical facilities, and national cemetery facilities for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Additionally, we provide related consulting services such as plan checking, technical writing, site inspections and irrigation water audits. Designing and working with landscapes in today’s climate requires a thorough awareness of water conservation needs and methods. Our expertise in water-conserving landscape and irrigation design incorporates horticultural science and artistic skill, resulting in beautiful, sustainable and maintainable landscapes. We successfully design climate-adaptive and native landscapes, including natural revegetation methods to re-create natural landscapes that require minimal maintenance and no supplemental irrigation.
