Weber + Thompson
A Weber + Thompson-designed neighborhood with a channeled stream that is day-lighted and trickles over local rocks and native plants.

We also look at a comprehensive approach to design and collaborative site planning. Finally, we ask local landscape architecture firms how they manage to hold their own in a slow economy.
