LANDSCAPE SERVICES

Enhancing local landscape with sensitive design & management expertise:Black & Veatch is at the forefront of the design and management of water resources and the integration of our ‘blue’ and ‘green’ infrastructure. We believe our Landscape Architects have an important role to play in this, working both at strategic and detailed levels. Along with our ecologists and environmental scientists, our landscape team ensures that our projects are environmentally sustainable, designed sensitively within the landscape context and protect and enhance local landscape character and quality.
