PGA’s Landscape Architecture Group is passionate about creating designs that are innovative, sustainable, and responsive to the needs of both our clients and the public they serve. Viewing landscape architecture as an essential component of any given space rather than an afterthought, our interdisciplinary collaboration allows us to achieve long term, context-sensitive and cost-effective solutions while realizing our client’s goals.
We apply best practices and take a lessons-learned approach to all projects; identifying and building upon a site’s opportunities while being cognizant of the constraints and challenges often encountered during the planning and design process. Our goal is to design spaces that not only consider overall safety and maintainability, but that are also holistic, purposeful, and dynamic.
Specialties include:
- Transportation landscape architecture – interstate and highway beautification; streetscapes; and bicycle and pedestrian facilities
- Parks and multi-use trails planning
- Urban design and placemaking
- Arboricultural services
- Post design / construction phase services
- Arborist evaluation
