SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

Our award winning team of designers, engineers and scientists utilize an ecologically friendly approach to site development and storm water management that aims to mitigate development impacts to land, water, and air. The approach emphasizes the integration of site design and planning techniques that conserve natural systems and hydrologic functions on a site.

We help our clients develop their urban environment in ways that promote healthy rivers, watersheds, and natural resources. The inter-relationships between stormwater runoff, water quality and habitat health should be considered in all development. Using this approach, objectives for economic development, housing, transportation, and parks, can be addressed in ways that promote healthy and sustainable environments.

We work closely with our clients to preserve open spaces and minimize land disturbance; protect natural systems and processes; and incorporate natural site elements whenever possible.

Our sustainable design and low impact development techniques have been successfully integrated into many municipal and private development projects as well as major college campuses across the southeast.
