Arizona over the past 15 years. Some of these projects you may
experience every day and not be aware that a landscape architect was
involved in its development. From the color of the pavement your walk
or drive on, to the tree that shades your car in the parking lot, to where
the bench or bike rack you utilize was placed, all involved the talents of a
Registered Landscape Architect.

customer service in the experience in the project process. HP+D is

Design Process
At HP+D, our design process is to listen first and act upon our instincts.
Creative ideas come from the heart. We are stewards of our
environments and because of that we remember that our solutions need
to be sensitive our surroundings and the people that use them. Designs
constantly evolve and we need to allow them to develop until we can
sharpen them into a preferred solution. From this stage we refine our
designs to meet the project needs whether they be fiscal, site
constraints, timing, or constructability issues. Our design process also
involves how to best communicate our ideas graphically and verbally.
