Land Planning / Landscape Architecture

Our planners work with local towns and cities to develop needs assessments for local recreation facilities and programs and survey community input for new or renovated park needs for grant applications and park facility improvements.

ESP works with home builders to provide planning and civil engineering services for single-family subdivisions, including residential units and amenities such as recreation centers, golf courses, tennis, basketball, volleyball, pools, and walking trails.

From initial concepts and renderings through the permitting process, ESP's planners work collaboratively with owners and engineers to design apartments, townhomes and senior living communities.

We support the unique development needs of retirement community and senior living projects through engaging and communicating throughout the planning, permitting, construction, and close-out processes.

As community planning evolves, mixed-use developments focus on economic health, sustainability, and the balance within “live, work, play” in our communities. ESP’s broad experience in public and private development projects and complete range of service lines give us a unique understanding of the needs of mixed-use projects.

Office, retail, lodging, mixed-use and recreation--for commercial developers, project schedules are critical. The integration of our service lines provides a complete range of support through the planning, permitting, construction, and close-out processes.

ESP's planners and landscape architects work with private developers and local governments to design engaging pedestrian trails and open spaces to enhance our communities.

K-12 schools and institutions of higher learning such as colleges and universities have unique site planning needs. ESP can support campus development projects of all types and sizes.

ESP’s landscape architects provide streetscape solutions that help define a community’s aesthetic quality, identity, safety and mobility. Programs to improve streetscape conditions include changes to the road cross section, sidewalk conditions, landscaping, street furniture and materials specifications.

ESP's planners and landscape architects design pedestrian friendly and aesthetically pleasing amenities for amusement parks, museums, and sport facilities.

From conceptual and creative theming of communities and entrance monuments to detailed construction documents, ESP's landscape architecture team innovatively guides clients and owners to help create a vision and build final products.

In the competitive market for tenants, the landscape design and amenities associated with commercial office and retail space help to differentiate these spaces. ESP’s landscape architects develop site plans and pedestrian-oriented environments that create memorable experiences and contribute towards the overall financial success of our clients.
