Our design team works in a highly collaborative, studio environment to deliver a seamless design to construction experience for our customers. From Design Support to Lead Architects, each team member has earned undergraduate or graduate level degrees in Landscape Architecture or other related fields of study.

Lead Architects

Beginning with initial design consultations, budget discussions, and conceptual design through design development, construction documents and detailed budgets, Lead Architects lead customers through the entire design and budget development process. From there, the Lead Architect continues with the customer as their primary point of contact throughout the construction process, facilitating last minute changes and working closely with the Production Supervisor and Foreman assigned to the project.

Design Support

Design Support positions primarily assist and support Lead Architects with design production. Tasks include but are not limited to site verification and base mapping, computer aided design development (AutoCAD), and graphic rendering.
