Mackin's Landscape Architecture Department is focused on site design involving the orderly, efficient, aesthetic and ecologically sensitive integration of man-made objects within the site's natural features. Sensitive site design produces a development that minimizes both project costs and environmental impacts, and adds long-term value to the project.

Landscape Architecture includes an analysis of the site to conserve and/or preserve the significant environmental, historical and cultural resources of the site. Successful site design adds value to the site by enhancing the natural and historical character of the space, minimizes environmental impacts, and reduces construction costs; and our work always includes the pedestrian and bicyclists as important participants in the transportation design.

By providing well-managed design and development projects, Mackin's Landscape Architects offer an essential array of services, expertise and experience to our clients. Our goal is to produce places of interest, outdoor spaces with character, and environmentally and economically sustainable projects.
