Lardner/Klein Landscape Architects, P.C. is

 

PASSIONATE: Our passion is the collective public landscape. We work with communities at local and regional scales to plan, design, and embrace stewardship at each site.  Projects take the form of trails, greenways, parks, streetscapes, historic sites, and natural areas. We help clients and communities develop creative solutions that are sustainable, culturally sensitive, and cost effective.  

 

EXPERIENCED: Our firm brings 33 years of practice as planners, landscape architects, and urban designers working in diverse communities. Creative problem solving and iterative, process-based thinking drive our practice.  We paint a big picture of future opportunities coupled with detailed implementation strategies to achieve the vision and project mission. With years of experience, we astutely define key issues and challenges engaging in ongoing and relevant community dialogue, generating innovative solutions and effective results.

 

CREATIVE: We harness imaginative ideas and embrace the nuances of each problem to come up with unique and comprehensive solutions.  We seek to engage communities to develop ideas from the ground up, articulating and refining visions and dreams.

 

COLLABORATIVE:  We form, lead and work with multi-disciplined teams explicitly tailored for each specific project. Through careful collaboration, our teams—composed of designers, planners, engineers, scientists, cultural resource experts, interpretive planners, professional cost estimators, and others—respond to the inherent characteristics of sites and the context of the places and communities we engage.

 

VISIONARY: We employ regenerative and resilient design tools on every project to assist communities in shaping a more positive future, one that is responsive to immediate and long-term changes induced by factors such as limited budgets, climate change impacts, and demographic shifts.
