Lager Raabe Skafte Landscape Architects, Inc. (LRSLA) has successfully designed and executed projects that range in scope from comprehensive master planning, to the creation of intimate landscapes and the detail design of site elements. We are committed to providing imaginative, practical, and sustainable designs to achieve our clients' objectives. By using vegetation and materials indigenous to the locale and by responding to site context and client input LRSLA has been able to transform modest sites into landscapes that enhance the built projects within them and assure continuity with the existing environment.

LRSLA has worked on numerous projects in which master plan ideas were developed into built landscapes. Active participation by the client, as well as the potential users of the site, is essential to the success of our projects as is planning for the on-going maintenance of a newly created landscape. We are intensely concerned with the sustainable character of the interventions that shape the environments we create. We take a holistic view of the site and context our projects inhabit and work to understand the geological, hydrological, and vegetative conditions as well as the human needs of each site. Our designs respond to the meaning and purpose a place has to the user along with the visual and physical cues of the environment. We believe that sustainability is the essence of the practice of landscape architecture.

As we celebrate over 16 years of design excellence we look forward to assuming the challenge of new projects and continuing to provide our clients with innovative, attractive, and enduring environments that enhance the quality of life of those who encounter them.
