A professional association for landscape architects that publishes design resources, case studies and public information on outdoor places.
The American Society of Landscape Architects, known as ASLA, describes itself as a professional association for landscape architects. Its website shares design case studies, education and public information on parks, gardens, streets and outdoor places. Owners in Nashville who want inspiration for a patio or yard can browse the ideas and learn how professionals think about space, sun, water and materials.
We are an independent company and are not part of ASLA. Good outdoor design starts with how people move, where sun and shade fall and how water flows. We use those principles when we draw your patio and yard, and we are glad to work with a landscape architect you choose.
