Landscape Architecture

The design and selection of the Landscape site components can determine how a development may be positively or negatively perceived. Lighting, water features, sidewalks, plant materials and other special site features should be an integral part of the overall design, not a decorative addition. The result is a development that is visually well conceived, planned and organized achieving the needs of the client. The task of landscape architecture goes beyond the site planting plan, we look at the type of plants, reducing the needs of irrigation, chemicals, and non-natives. Consideration is given to site features, accessibility, shade, water features, visual elements, paving, walls, and seating. The consideration of developing the site, receiving approvals and profitability is all part of landscape architecture. The entrance signage, marketing graphics, plant material, and site layout are all part of what Horvath Associates provides in offering a full service firm for land development.
