You’ve been there before; those special places you enjoy walking through or driving by. They may have a certain vitality and energy, or perhaps a sense of quiet and solitude. Chances are the design profession of landscape architecture was behind the design and success of these memorable places.
Landscape architects at Shive-Hattery work to understand and fulfill your vision. Our projects involve planning, design, development, and management of the built environment, and we do it with an eye toward human interaction, natural resources, aesthetic quality, and sustainability. We develop design alternatives that integrate all aspects of the site including building location, earthwork, utilities, storm water management, vegetation, circulation, and maintenance. We also help clients with the details: colors, materials, plantings, furnishings, and signage.
Our work with special places has included parks, plazas, riverfronts, trails, lifestyle centers, and gardens. When you’re ready to make another special place, we’re ready too.
