ETA Landscape Architecture

What ETA Landscape Architecture does

ETA Landscape Architecture (legal name: eta landscape architecture inc.) is a Vancouver-based professional landscape architecture firm operating for over 30 years, with a portfolio of more than 2,000 constructed projects. The firm provides a full spectrum of landscape architecture services spanning conceptual planning, urban design, park and open space design, multifamily residential landscapes, institutional facilities, and commercial and streetscape masterplanning. Services run from initial client consultation and community engagement through jurisdictional approvals to construction administration, with the firm positioning itself as a multidisciplinary consultant that integrates building architecture with surrounding land and roof levels.

The firm's core technical differentiator is the integration of Cradle to Cradle sustainability practices into every project rather than treating sustainability as an add-on, with explicit emphasis on reducing water and energy consumption, using recycled and recyclable materials, and enhancing impacted natural systems. The team includes registered landscape architects with specializations in arboriculture, LEED/sustainable design, and First Nations reconciliation-focused design, supported by BCSLA and CSLA professional involvement.

ETA operates a sales-led, direct-engagement professional services model. Revenue is generated through project-based consulting fees paid by two primary client groups: municipal and institutional clients (Metro Vancouver, City of Vancouver, City of Richmond, City of Coquitlam, City of White Rock, Emily Carr University) and real estate developers (Polygon, Onni Group, BOSA, Wesgroup, Denna Homes, Aeiry Group). The firm is privately held, owner-operated, with no disclosed external investors or parent company, and is geographically concentrated in Metro Vancouver and broader British Columbia.
