Landscape Architecture

We believe that landscape architecture is all about crafting imaginative, recuperative environments that captivate clients, delight their guests, and benefit communities and our planet. Our approach to landscape architecture begins by listening to the land, allowing it to reveal its innate beauty.

At WATG, landscape architecture is rooted in the practice of maximizing a project site’s nature, culture and commercial value, and biocultural conservation. This balance is achieved by first conducting research to understand a site’s biodiversity and cultural heritage, and then using those insights to inform innovative design solutions that are not only beautiful and integrated into the holistic experience of a place but that also restore natural landscapes, celebrate and conserve heritage, and generate a net increase in biodiversity.

We take great care to ensure that every landscape we design reflects the unique characteristics of its environment. Our work is grounded in a deep respect for natural systems, always incorporating sustainable strategies such as low-carbon, low-water designs, and the use of indigenous species. Whether it’s lush urban streetscapes that clean the air we breathe, vibrant public plazas, or tranquil resort gardens, our landscapes are not only beautiful but also ecologically responsible.

For 79 years, WATG has been shaping some of the world’s most iconic destinations. As leaders in hospitality and destination design, we understand that a well-designed landscape can elevate the human experience, turning everyday moments into extraordinary memories. Our expertise spans a wide range of project types, from intimate garden retreats to expansive urban environments, each one carefully tailored to reflect our clients’ visions while enhancing the natural magic of their surroundings.

Our landscape architecture service is one of five integrated service lines at WATG—alongside Advisory, Master Planning, Architecture, and Wimberly Interiors—that work collaboratively to deliver holistic, emotionally intelligent solutions. We approach each project with a human-centric focus, designing not just for visual impact but to surprise, delight, and enrich the lives of those who experience the spaces. Our landscapes are theatrical narratives that stimulate the senses, creating spaces where people connect, relax, and recharge.

At WATG, sustainability is a guiding principle in every project. We strive to create landscapes that are not only visually stunning but also sustainable and resilient. By preserving the natural environment and promoting biodiversity, our designs foster a strong connection between people and nature while supporting the long-term vitality of the region. We prioritize low-impact, ecologically sensitive solutions that respect the land and its ecosystems.

Every landscape we design is as unique as the site it inhabits. We approach each project by thoroughly understanding the development goals, the challenges of the site, and the opportunities it presents. This allows us to deliver authentic, cost-effective, and culturally relevant designs that stand the test of time. With an acute awareness of stakeholder goals, operational needs, and the complexities of multi-use developments, we ensure that our designs provide lasting value, delivering results on time and within budget.
