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.
