Our landscape architects collaborate with SMMA’s civil engineers, architects, and planners from the earliest stages of your project.
Together, we assess conditions, flag concerns, and uncover opportunities that resonate with your culture and aspirations. Our designs align the competing interests of major projects—aesthetics, function, and cost—to better integrate your vision into the surrounding environment.

Design That Endures
Today’s landscapes must be resilient, able to adapt to events beyond our control. Contouring the land, managing stormwater, preserving and bolstering natural systems, and thoughtfully siting and sizing buildings—these decisions matter for generations to come. SMMA’s designers think decades ahead, crafting designs that function within their ecosystems while striving to preserve critical existing features and vegetation.

“Every person needs and deserves access to meaningful green spaces. You could be an elementary school student, a warehouse worker, or a scientist, but you need a healthy outdoor environment where you can find community and respite. Our job is to address the needs of these communities and hopefully provide joyous experiences where people can recharge, connect, and grow.”
