LSD’s ecologically-based design philosophy results in a self-sustaining landscape that works with the natural biosystems, limits overall water use, and reduces our clients’ long-term maintenance responsibility. As one of the largest and most experienced design groups in the Southwest, LSD is able to undertake a wide variety of design projects and meet demanding schedules. Our design staff includes 14 registered landscape architects, landscape designers, horticulturalists, a certified irrigation designer and auditor, construction inspectors, recreation planners, community planners, and CADD technicians. LSD has been consistently recognized for excellence by organizations such as the American Society of Landscape Architects, Federal Highway Administration, Arizona Planning Association, Arizona Public Works Association, and Valley Forward. LSD’s in-house environmental planning staff also offers the benefit of keeping our Design Group aware of the latest regulations that could affect design decisions and/or project approaches.
