Design Ethos
Research, resilience, preservation, and community are central to the practice.
Our landscape architecture team at DesignJones LLC is adept at tying neighborhood empowerment, disaster recovery, innovative planning, and design solutions together.
We implement unique approaches to landscapes forged by intensive research in areas that include comprehensive water management, building resilient communities, preservation of the built environment, a wide range of planting strategies, and effective land use and planning.
Sustainability has been at the heart of our planning and design, particularly over the past eight years.
