C&S’s landscape architecture practice focuses on creating 
outdoor environments that are both functionally sound and aesthetically 
pleasing. Our professionals work together in the development of 
facilities and infrastructure projects of all types to ensure that the 
finished product is not only efficient and practical, but also in 
harmony with the environment. Our registered landscape architects bring 
extensive knowledge of plant materials, site design and planning, 
accessibility requirements, 
grading and drainage, site detailing, site 
amenities and environmental considerations to create projects that 
address human requirements and the ever-important need to increase the

Parks and Trails
The investment in the design and planning of public spaces for 
recreation, rejuvenation and reflection is repaid many times over in 
benefits to the community. Parks and trails provide an oasis where 
average citizens can reconnect with nature and enjoy outdoor activities,
 which also yield health benefits. C&S professionals can manage all 
phases of parks and trail projects, from initial concept, grant and 
funding application preparation, through design and construction 
management.

The revitalization of downtown areas and neighborhoods in villages, towns, and cities is a growing trend as the public comes to appreciate pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods, shopping districts, and historic districts. C&S professionals have expertise in all aspects of street-scape projects, including the planning and design of sidewalks, curbs, site furniture, accessibility improvements, lighting, and facade improvements. We also provide all landscape design to accompany pedestrian and vehicle transportation infrastructure, including native plantings, caparisoning, low-water use designs, and incorporation of public art.
