Landscape Architecture:
Landscape Architecture encompasses the analysis, planning, design,
management, and stewardship of the natural and built environments.
Our specific Services include Site Analysis Master Site Planning,
Pedestrian Circulation Movements, and Site Usage and Capabilities
Development of Usage Plans and Application of Technology such as
CADD Files and Engineering, to the natural environment to blend the
existing to the proposed desired usage.

Urban Design:
We view it as the application of Landscape Architecture to the urban
environment. This typically involved tools and materials such as
blending of community and pedestrian needs to traffic and public
space management. Elements of this process can include decorative
paving, lighting, benches and furniture, fountains, plantings, walls
and fences, public art, open space planning for events and markets.

Planting Design:
We apply planting design to the framework of hardscape planning.
We typically use a palette of native plantings with accents of
ornamentals. We prefer this blend to allow for sustainability and to
allow for responsible landscape management. Plans are developed
either by hand or on CADD, and final production plans are CADD
produced and can be delivered digitally for our clients' convenience.

Irrigation Design:
We are unique in the LA profession as being one of only a few firms
to do irrigation design in-house. We feel it gives the client a much
better product, and it keeps us linked to trends in the industry, rather
than relying on a subcontractor for this important service. We can
deliver plans which are better coordinated and our clients can ask us,
rather than us having to delay communication, waiting on an answer
from a subcontractor.

ISA-Certified Arborists:
We are trained and ISA-Certified (International Society of
Arboriculture) to provide existing tree assessments, both for
construction protection and for decisions relating to saving or
removing trees. This is a valuable service to our clients as
municipalities are requesting ISA-Certified arborist services for
projects with existing trees on them. We keep up to date with
University of Florida IFAS data, as well as training for our CEU's
several times a year, to maintain our Certifications.

FDOT- Pre-qualified Vendor:
We are a pre-qualified Prime Vendor to provide 15.0 Landscape
