p h i l o s o p h y & v a l u e s

We believe the basis for a successful design lies within the context of a site and our goal is to discover, foster and develop it through research, analysis, conceptual generation and the blending of aesthetic and prag-matic aspects of Landscape Architecture and Civil Engineering into a comprehensive solution. We strive for comprehensive, creative and thor-ough problem solving services based on these values:

COMMUNICATION: We are committed to building strong and long-last-ing relationships based on transparent communication, trust, honesty and integrity. We listen to and respond to the needs of our Clients, treat-ing them as partners.

SUSTAINABILITY: Sustainable design means developing long-lasting quality solutions while striving to preserve our natural resources for fu-ture generations and we are committed to being managers of our world ecology for our Clients.

INTERACTION: Whether we are part of a collaborative team effort or working singly with a Client, we are committed to a dynamic and interac-tive approach to planning and design.

PERSPECTIVE: We are committed to helping our Clients see and under-stand their project in different ways in order to create the best possible solutions.

INNOVATION: We strive to generate excitement about a project through innovative ideas and concepts and let this enthusiasm guide us through the design process and beyond.

RDA emphasizes a sustainable and “green” approach to residential landscape design. It begins with an appropriate design that includes functional, cost effi cient, visually pleas-ing, environmentally friendly and maintainable areas, all while meeting the program needs of a family. Th e design must be implemented in a cost and energy effi cient manner and be built to stand the test of time. Lastly, the landscape must be monitored and maintained to ensure a continu-ously healthy ecosystem. RDA works closely with families to develop a “compound” that suits all of their needs and provides four seasons of use and beauty.
