Landscape Designer

Through innovative design, we empower communities and help them to realize their potential. Our landscape architects create inspired spaces that reflect context and user needs along with our commitment to sustainability. We take a collaborative approach to design and believe that the best solutions are the product of diverse perspectives.
At Stantec, we are active members of the communities we serve. That's why our promise is to always design with community in mind. Our Planning & Landscape Architecture practice is comprised of collaborative, knowledgeable, visionary professionals whose work is done at the intersection of community, creativity, sustainability, and client relationships. We work across disciplines to create high-quality sustainable environments that are innovative, functional, attractive responses to the context in which they are designed.
Our team members have opportunities to provide services across the United States in visioning; master planning; community design; park and recreation design; commercial and corporate design; State and Federal; healthcare design; transportation planning and design; and landscape restoration and rehabilitation. These diverse project opportunities are regularly delivered in teams of experts from across the North America - we are better together.
