At LGLA we approach landscape architecture as an opportunity to explore a series of relationships: between the site and the region; architecture and landscape; and most importantly, between the landscape and the people who will inhabit it. Since our founding in 1992, LGLA has been responsible for the planning and design of a wide range of public and private projects including campuses, boutique hotels, commercial buildings, public parks, and private residences.

Lisa Gimmy, PLA, ASLA, LEED AP
Founding Principal
Founding principal Lisa Gimmy has long promoted sustainable and regionally appropriate solutions to projects regardless of complexity or scale. Designs evolve from a respect for the cultural and historical contexts and a reflection of the qualities of the site. From the beginning of program development through the detailing of materials, we engage clients who want to participate in the process to understand the possibilities appropriate to their project and to evaluate these efforts against budget and schedule parameters. At the heart of any design process is the reconciliation of competing goals and objectives; in the balance, we craft creative and innovative solutions that enable us to realize our core mission: to create landscapes imbued with beauty, utility, and a strong sense of place.
