How do we create better places?

Hitchcock Design Group is a landscape planning firm and landscape architecture firm that helps our clients maximize the potential of their valuable outdoor places.

Specialized Expertise

Our experienced practitioners are passionate about creating better places for people to live, work, play, learn, and heal. As respected leaders, we have deep expertise in each of our markets, speak your language, and understand your specific needs and considerations.

Purposeful Creativity

We think big and unconventionally, yet our ideas always align with your objectives, expectations, budget, and timeline. We identify optimal solutions and the best use of the place, while understanding immediate and long-term needs. Our designs are creative, distinctive, and impactful because we are meticulous about the smallest details.

Caring Relationships

While we are in the business of creative landscape design, we are equally focused on building relationships and consensus with clients, communities, and colleagues. We empower everyone on our staff to do whatever it takes to satisfy your requests, and care about you and your success beyond the project.

Responsible Advocacy

Hitchcock Design Group tirelessly pursues results that satisfy and delight our clients. We protect and enhance your vision, and promote the best use of resources to achieve project goals. We garner consensus and build excitement among stakeholders, while balancing the requirements of the place and the people who will use it. We support your mission and move projects forward.
