April is Landscape Architecture month!

We can't get through the month without giving a shoutout to Craig Ritland (center in the photo), who founded the company in 1970 and is still an active principal! His imagination and talent lead the conceptual development of our projects and rumor has it, he's still using the same pencil featured in the photo.

Landscape architecture is all about place making and this prominent project located in downtown Waterloo does just that! Have you been enchanted by the Waterloo River Light Experience? It's a magical feeling walking across the bridge at night. Be sure to check out the different themes throughout the year.
