The Firm

For over 25 years, IQ has helped define places and shape scenic experiences in the region and beyond. We emphasize research-driven, nature-centered design that revitalizes communities and succeeds in creating one-of-a-kind destinations. Informed by tradition but inventive and flexible in the face of modern challenges, we share a commitment to superior design and innovative land use that is both cost-effective and environmentally sensitive.

Offering a full range of services in landscape architecture, urban design and environmental planning, we work synergistically to assess the limitations and attributes of each site and devise customized plans that will fulfill each client’s vision and requirements. By listening to the people we work with and learning from the land, we’re able to plan and construct environments that are balanced, beautiful and purposeful while incurring minimal impact on ecosystems and your bottom line.

Synthesizing art, science, and technical know-how, IQ approaches landscape architecture with creativity and intelligence. We do not see obstacles; we see challenges that inspire us to think deeper and opportunities to explore new solutions. We know there is never one linear path to success, but myriad ways to fulfill your highest expectations.
