TerraTectonics Landscape Architecture

Practice Areas:

Landscape Architecture:
Landscape architecture encompasses the analysis, planning, design,
management, and stewardship of the natural and built environments.
Specific Services include: existing tree asessments, tree preservation
techniques, site analysis, master site planning, pedestrian circulation
movements, site usage capabilities, development of usage plans and
application of technology. All our plans are produced in Microstation
cadd format, but can easily be converted to AUTOcad. Our final desired
goal is to produce a cost effective, well designed project, complimentary
to the architectural usage of the project, while being low maintenance
and blending and complimenting the natural exterior environment of the
site.

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 that
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 that are better coordinated and our clients can ask us rather than
us delaying communication waiting on a answer from a sub.

ISA-Certified Arborist:
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 also a
valuable service to our clients as municipal get notices are requesting
ISA-Certified arborist services for projects with existing trees on them.
We keep up to date with Univ. of Florida IFAS data as well as training
for our CEU's several times a year to maintain our Certifications.
