Landscape Architecture
Landscape architecture that connects people and places
Landscape architecture shapes how people experience the built environment. At Colliers Engineering & Design, we design outdoor spaces that balance function, aesthetics, environmental responsibility, and long-term performance.
Our licensed landscape architects and LEED accredited professionals approach each project with both creative vision and strategic insight, helping clients align site design with broader planning goals, regulatory requirements, and community context. From early feasibility and entitlement support through construction administration, we focus on clarity, coordination, and practical implementation.

- Playground and aquatic facility planning
- Sustainable and LEED-informed design strategies
- Vegetation analysis, irrigation design, and maintenance planning
Our approach
Successful landscapes begin with thoughtful planning. We collaborate closely with architects, civil engineers, planners, and environmental specialists to ensure site design supports circulation, accessibility, stormwater management, and long-term stewardship.
By integrating landscape architecture within a multidisciplinary team, we evaluate grading, materials, lighting, and planting strategies within the full project context. This coordination helps streamline permitting, strengthen constructibility, and create cohesive environments that serve both immediate needs and future growth.
Barrier-free design principles are embedded in our work, ensuring the spaces we create are inclusive and accessible.

Designing for balance, performance, and community
Landscapes must perform as well as they inspire. Our designs consider durability, maintenance requirements, ecological conditions, and seasonal change, creating environments that remain resilient over time.
Whether revitalizing an urban corridor, enhancing a campus setting, or shaping public recreation spaces, we prioritize safety, adaptability, and environmental responsiveness. Sustainable strategies are integrated throughout the process, supporting water efficiency, plant health, and long-term site performance.
Coordinated landscapes for complex environments
Landscape architecture plays a critical role in shaping how projects function and how communities experience them. Through close coordination with in-house architecture and engineering disciplines, we align site features with building systems, infrastructure, and regulatory standards.
This integrated approach reduces risk, improves communication, and supports confident execution across public and private sector projects.
Frequently asked questions
Landscape architecture is the planning and design of outdoor environments that are safe, functional, and visually cohesive. It includes parks, streetscapes, campuses, recreation areas, and civic spaces, with careful consideration of environmental impact, plant selection, and long-term performance.
A landscape architect is licensed to plan and design outdoor spaces, coordinate with project teams, and prepare construction documents. A landscape contractor focuses on implementing the design in the field.
Sustainability is integrated through plant selection, water management, irrigation strategies, material durability, and thoughtful site planning. Designs consider ecological impact and long-term stewardship from the outset.
Yes. Landscape architecture requires an understanding of grading, drainage, geometry, accessibility standards, and environmental regulations. Technical precision supports safe, compliant, and lasting site design.
