Landscape Architecture

•Preparation of supporting Landscape Architectural plan documents include landscape planting plans, hardscape plans, irrigation plans, critical area plans such as CBPA restoration plans, reforestation plans, BMPs and storm water management facilities plans including constructed wetlands, bioretention facilities, bio-swales, tree inventory plans, conservation area inventory plans, lighting plans and analysis, plans associated with environmental studies such as NEPA and Phase 1 impact assessments, basis of design and specification documents, renderings and photo-simulations. Landscape plans generally include calculations for canopy and green area requirements, parking and interior landscaping requirements, streetscape and special corridor landscaping requirements. Site assessment and investigation prior to and construction management upon project completion is a common duty associated with plan implementation as well as reviewing shop drawings for contractor performance compliance.

Site Planning
• Perform field investigations and assessment of the project site to determine best use.
