Our Tysons, Virginia office provides planning, design, and engineering services to developers and municipalities throughout Northern Virginia. We strive to integrate the expertise of our various professions with that of other consultants, and we expect you will have a well-rounded understanding of how the built environment is developed.

  • A mentor to help guide and support your efforts
  • Collaboration with staff at all levels, and opportunities to help different teams
  • Hands-on experience with real projects
  • Exposure to the full design process from concept through construction documentation
  • Insight into the day-to-day operations of a professional landscape architecture practice

Educational Requirements:

  • Current enrollment in a Landscape Architecture design program (BLA or MLA)
  • Portfolio demonstrating creative thinking and technical abilities
