Rialto Studio

What Rialto Studio does

Rialto Studio, Inc. is a professional landscape architecture firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, with a second office in Austin. The firm provides landscape planning, master planning, and design services organized across 12 service categories — Parks + Trails, Multifamily, Community, Corporate + Office, Cultural + Civic, Campus + School, Retail + Restaurant, Master Planning, Hospitality, Historic, Strategic Services, and 3D Animations — and serves cities, universities, and private developers primarily across Texas.

The firm operates as a multidisciplinary design leader rather than a sub-consultant, with Principals Peter Hinton and Principal Emeritus James W. Gray, Jr. (over 60 years of combined experience) directing complex projects such as the Pearl mixed-use development, Hotel Emma, Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort & Spa, Confluence Park, Mission Reach, San Pedro Creek Culture Park, Brackenridge Park, City Hall San Antonio, Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, UT Law School, Trinity University, the San Antonio Zoo, the Witte Museum, and the Tobin Center. Its core technical differentiation is rooted in Central Texas specialization, particularly planting design and rainwater harvesting.

Rialto generates revenue exclusively through professional services fees billed on a project-by-project, quote-based basis. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with principals personally leading client engagement across government, university, and private developer segments. Marketing is portfolio-driven, supported by an organic social and content presence on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The firm is privately held by its principals with no disclosed external investors or parent company.
