What Ron Koudys Landscape Architects does

Ron Koudys Landscape Architects Inc. (RKLA) is a privately held, founder-led landscape architecture firm headquartered in London, Ontario, with a secondary office in Windsor. Founded by Ron Koudys (BLA, MEd, OALA, FCSLA, FASLA) and operating for over 40 years, the firm delivers project-based landscape architectural design services across seven verticals: commercial, industrial, community, institutional, municipal, residential, and transportation. Its team of approximately 12 includes three senior landscape architects, additional designers, and technical staff holding credentials from OALA, CSLA, ASLA, and LEED (Platinum and Gold). Notable clients include Loblaws, Mercedes-Benz London, 3M, Ellis Don, Trudell Medical, Mount Hope Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital, and Amica Mature Lifestyles, spanning retail, manufacturing, construction, healthcare, and senior living.

The firm generates revenue through fee-based professional services engagements, with project pricing determined by scope and complexity rather than disclosed rate cards. Service delivery runs from land assessment and planning through design and construction oversight, and the firm emphasizes sustainability (LEED-certified projects), personalized client collaboration, and long-standing relationships with building architects, surveyors, engineers, and municipal stakeholders across southwestern Ontario. Distribution is direct and referral-driven, with a light organic social media presence for top-of-funnel awareness; there are no third-party channel partners or public marketing campaigns.
