Improving public health through environmental design
Through environmental design, landscape architects impact not only the quality of life of human beings, but also the quality of soil, water and air. From this perspective, landscape architects are stewards of well-being, and landscape architecture an act of health care.
Land management solutions for the bottom line
Many people are simply working too hard and spending too much money on managing their landscape. We can diagnose the property performance to help homeowners, HOA’s and companies maximize the potential of properties through land-use strategies and management plans to minimize maintenance costs.
Designing for abundance
Landscape architects can program environments to provide food, water, exercise, education, inspiration, relaxation, and socialization. These ecosystem services are part of a larger system of green infrastructure beyond stormwater management and planting design.
Environmental narratives
We help clients understand the potential of their properties through interpretation of data, help design professionals embed ecosystem services and ecological planting design into their concepts, as well as provide interpretation of property resources for selling projects to potential stakeholders.
Landscape architects are licensed professionals that draw from, among many things, traditions of art and cutting-edge science to design environments that can protect and provide. Landscape architects have their own specialized skill set, but are also interdisciplinary professionals who collaborate with architects, engineers, planners, contractors, municipalities, project stakeholders, and the general public to affect positive change in built and natural environments.
Through design, landscape architects impact the well-being of wildlife, vegetation, fungi, as well as the quality of water, soils, and air. Furthermore, landscape architects can program environments to provide resources like food, water, exercise, education, inspiration, relaxation, and socialization. From this perspective, landscape architects are stewards of well-being, and landscape architecture an act of health care.
Hiring a landscape architect is an investment in upgrading the performance of a landscape. Improving health, managing stormwater and pollution through green infrastructure, attracting business, landscape architects can help stakeholders positively impact people, planet, and profit. The well-designed and responsibly-managed landscape generates health and wealth while inspiring a connection to our natural world.
