What Greenworks does

GreenWorks, PC is a privately-held professional landscape architecture and environmental design firm founded in 1987 and headquartered in Portland, Oregon. The firm delivers comprehensive landscape architecture services — master planning, schematic design, construction documents, and construction administration — across five interconnected service areas: Parks and Open Spaces Design, Natural Resources and Stormwater Management, Urban Development and Transportation, and Water/Wastewater Facilities Design. Its practice is differentiated by deep specialization in sustainable design, green infrastructure (bioswales, green streets, ecoroofs), and stream and riparian restoration, including salmon habitat work and floodplain reconnection.

The firm's revenue model is fee-for-service professional services, with projects acquired through competitive bidding and direct contract negotiation with public sector clients. The customer base is concentrated in government agencies — municipal parks departments, water districts, watershed councils, port authorities, county governments, and state/federal partners — across Oregon, Washington, and selected out-of-state markets. Named clients include Portland Parks & Recreation, City of Wilsonville, Tualatin Valley Water District, Port of Vancouver, Clark County, and Metro (Oregon). Deliveries are routed through direct professional services contracts and public procurement.

GreenWorks operates as a small practice (11-50 employees) with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional ownership, and is led by founder Willy Segovia. The firm has built a 38-year regional brand in the Pacific Northwest, supported by industry recognition including the ASLA Oregon Honor Award and NOAA awards. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, supplemented by a public portfolio and industry credentials rather than consumer-facing marketing or product distribution channels.
