Design & Philosophy 

From a design standpoint, we believe in the principle of providing outstanding design solutions while  meeting the specific and diverse needs of our clients. At the core of our philosophy is the desire to create timeless spaces of simple elegance that can be enjoyed by all.  We utilize an initial design approach that seeks authenticity by honoring local history and natural context while also pursuing imaginative and innovative solutions. We realize the crucial importance of meeting project budgets, submittal deadlines and the development of clear and thorough construction documents.  We employ a pragmatic and efficient production process that places importance on the creation of designs that can succeed under various budget conditions and remain flexible during the value engineering process. Finally, we place great emphasis on sound and detail-oriented Construction Administration. 

As mentioned above, HDLA has over three decades of experience creating meaningful, site specific landscapes with the goal of capturing the “genius of the place”.  Our core philosophy and design process demand that we create engaging places of authenticity; places that create a sense of awareness within the user that is genuine, intrinsic, and memora
