At Hermann Design Group, we evaluate the overall project to create a landscape architecture plan that strategically balances function with appealing aesthetics, while also considering existing or proposed structures, roadways, and pedestrian access. We collaborate closely with clients, architects, and other project stakeholders to ensure a mutually successful outcome.

In our climate, we have a wide selection of plants that thrive year-round. With the recent push toward water conservation, we work closely with clients to create a water-smart plan that provides an aesthetically pleasing design. Our experienced landscape designers creatively combine native and drought-tolerant plants that accentuate the style of the architecture and achieve the appearance the client requires.

Artwork and sculptures create unique focal points and can reinforce the style guidelines or character of the property. We work with clients and artists to provide options for a wide variety of art and sculpture.

Strategic hardscape features add interest and functionality, in addition to the reduction of necessary turf or groundcover. The hardscape design is a collaborative process with the client, architect, and civil engineer to strategically place walkways, retaining walls, and water features that create an environment with the utmost functionality and aesthetic impact.

Even during a time when water conservation is a priority, water features can be incorporated using sustainable methods. Water features add interest, creating a focal point and providing soothing sounds to outdoor spaces and a major statement at entryways. Many water features utilize recaptured water, making their addition of little consequence to overall water usage.

The entryway to a business or development is the first impression for customers and guests. We work closely with clients to ensure that the entry design is representative of the project’s identity. Our designs incorporate hardscapes, landscape architecture, way finding, and lighting design to ensure a cohesive and complete solution. Furthermore, we provide coordination of graphic design, lettering style, and optimal signage size.
