Sustainable Design

Good sustainable design principles apply to projects at any scale. These principles include: Healthy soil, using water as a resource and correct plant selection and installation. If a landscape functions well in addition to looking beautiful, it will be valued by people. The link between people and the landscape equates to true sustainability.

Parks & Recreation

Well designed recreational space provides multiple opportunities for both active and passive activities. The access and circulation between activities is important. Long term maintenance needs are also important. In greenway systems the linkage of linear parks and open space achieves the multiple goals of recreation, wildlife habitat, transportation and environmental quality.

Residential Design

Residential design requires an emphasis on personal spaces. It provides an extension of outdoor living space with an emphasis on detailed hard-scapes and plants with seasonal interest and restorative value. See examples of Residential Design Projects

Land Development

A well planned community starts with the analysis of existing natural systems and surrounding land use patterns. Open space is integrated into the land pattern, shaping clusters of density for development. This increases market value while respecting the land. Well designed amenity elements add quality to the personal spaces of a community. See examples of Land Development Projects
