The Value of Professional Landscape Design: More Than Just Visual Appeal

Landscape Architecture applies both science and art to create solutions to stormwater management, accessibility, and other issues that are not only effective and functional but sturdy, environmentally sound, and aesthetically pleasing.

Places Associates, Inc. believes that having the same firm provide engineering, environmental consulting services, and landscape design reduces redundancy and ensures consistency. Our landscape design professionals regularly produce plans to emphasize the useable and amenable aspects of each site, to enable accessibility, to provide for the buffering of sensitive areas, to comply with regulatory requirements, and to be responsive to the interests and goals of the people who will inhabit the landscape.
