Craftsmanship—in both design and construction—is central to our practice and passion.

Working closely with public agencies, school districts, universities, communities, architects, engineers, developers, and owners, HKLA approaches each project through a multi‑angled lens that encourages creativity, rigor, and innovative solutions. The firm’s work has been recognized through regional and national design awards for its civic, educational, and community‑based landscapes.
