What LSG Landscape Architecture does

LSG Landscape Architecture (legal entity LSG Inc) is a privately held landscape architecture and planning firm headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, founded in 1985. The firm provides professional services spanning master planning, site design, environmental assessments, historic preservation, arboriculture, lighting design, planting design, permitting, and construction documentation, organized around eight project categories: Live (residential), Work (commercial), Play (recreation), Gather (community), Learn (educational), Honor (memorials), Retire (senior living), and Envision (parks). Its portfolio includes more than 60 completed projects concentrated along the U.S. Eastern Seaboard, with selected international engagements in China and India, including work on the TATA Consultancy Services campus in Nagpur, India, and large-scale master plans in Zhejiang and Guangdong provinces, China. India delivery is supported through an affiliated entity, Green Space Alliance, with offices in Mumbai and Pune.

The firm operates a project-based professional services revenue model with fees negotiated by scope, complexity, and scale rather than published pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on competitive bidding, RFPs for public-sector work, and established institutional relationships with government agencies, real estate developers, educational institutions, and senior living operators. Named clients include Arlington County Department of Parks and Recreation, George Mason University, Erickson Living, the Transportation Security Administration, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Research Campus. Delivery relies on industry-standard design technology (AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Adobe Creative Suite) rather than proprietary platforms, and the firm carries multiple professional credentials including LEED AP, Certified Healthcare Garden Designer, and Certified Playground Safety Inspector across its leadership. The firm has accumulated more than 60 ASLA chapter awards since 2002 across planning, design, and built-work categories, establishing durable brand equity in the Mid-Atlantic public-sector and institutional landscape architecture market.

Broad incumbents

• Pape-Dawson Engineers: Large multi-discipline engineering, planning, and landscape architecture firm serving public and developer clients across the Eastern Seaboard. Wider service portfolio than LSG but overlapping on site design for major developments.

• Sasaki Associates: Planning, design, and landscape architecture practice with comparable campus master planning and urban parks portfolio. Like LSG, Sasaki combines landscape architecture with broader planning disciplines for institutional and developer clients.
