About Us

Our Purpose

To improve people’s lives and the communities in which they live, work, and play through interactions with creative outdoor places and spaces.

Our core values define how we view the world, how we support one another and how we delight our clients.

Design Excellence

We value human-centered design with sustainable solutions, impactful aesthetics, and onsite performance, crafted by empathy born from those who will experience the outcomes

Collaboration Equity

We believe in proactive inclusivity, where everyone positively contributes, communicates, and makes a difference – it’s the power of WE.

Life Balance

We embrace that personal happiness, career success, business health, and client satisfaction are interconnected facets of a fulfilling professional life, and we’re here for all of it.

Creating better places.

Hitchcock Design Group is an award-winning landscape architecture, placemaking and urban design practice with offices in key markets across the United States.

We believe that what we do adds value to the communities we are privileged to work in, increasing our clients’ return on investment by making communities more culturally reflective and aesthetically attractive.

As attentive stewards of the land, we seek to address the challenges of climate change through disciplined research, meticulous engineering and thoughtful landscape design, turning challenges into sustainable solutions that maximize the economic viability, resiliency, livability and enjoyment of this precious resource we call home.

YOUR RELATIONSHIPS ARE OUR PRIORITY

While Hitchcock Design Group lives in the business of planning and design, we are equally focused on building relationships and consensus with the clients we serve, the communities we design for, and the colleagues we establish on every project. All staff members are empowered to do whatever it takes to satisfy your requests. We care about you and your success beyond the project.
