Landscape Architecture & Site Design Services

Read What Our Clients Say About Us

Well-designed landscapes and outdoor spaces do more than enhance aesthetics. They shape how people move, gather, interact with, and experience their environments. The landscape architecture team at raSmith understands what it takes to develop a site that meets the needs, goals, and budgets of a wide variety of project types, clients, and market sectors. Our passionate, licensed landscape architects and site planners have extensive experience in creating thoughtful, functional, and engaging outdoor spaces for both public and private sector clients.

We specialize in “placemaking for people” by designing dynamic outdoor spaces and sites from senior living and residential communities to urban streetscapes, nature centers, parks, plazas, camps, and commercial developments.

What sets raSmith apart is our integrated approach, with licensed landscape architects and site planners working alongside in-house civil engineers, surveyors, ecologists, and other technical specialists to align site design with stormwater management, permitting, accessibility, and constructability. This collaborative approach brings the client’s vision to life while supporting long-term value, functionality, and character for the surrounding community.

With a strong track record of award-winning work and deep roots across Wisconsin, including Milwaukee, Brookfield, Appleton, Madison, and beyond, raSmith creates outdoor environments that leave a lasting impact. Our team serves clients throughout Wisconsin and the greater Chicagoland area, including Naperville, delivering integrated landscape architecture and site design solutions that reflect the unique character, goals, and context of each project.

Our Landscape Architecture Planning & Design Process

Collaboration through each step of a project is key to successfully planning and designing community spaces. We consult with clients through a logical, intuitive, and creative process to achieve the goals and build consensus for each project.
We bring value to the design process by getting involved early in the project. Meeting with project stakeholders early on brings an understanding of the goals of a project before decisions have been made.
Our experience in design and construction helps to guide our clients and the project stakeholders through a thorough, intuitive, and efficient process, so we can avoid unnecessary rework and potential project delays.
