SITE MASTER PLANNING
Every project benefits from the early integration of site, structure and landscape. Master planning is an important first step in the design process. Careful evaluation of existing site features, project goals, proposed architecture and other considerations will assure that the outcome is sensible and harmonious.
RESIDENTIAL LANDSCAPE PLANNING
We believe your landscape be an extension of your home, your personality and your lifestyle. McProud and Associates has extensive experience in residential landscapes of all types – from cottage gardens to large estates.
COMMERCIAL LANDSCAPE PLANNING
Whether working independently or as a part of inter-disciplinary teams, McProud and Associates has successfully completed a wide range of commercial landscape projects. Our commercial projects range in scale from single office buildings to large scale shopping centers and industrial facilities. We design commercial landscape settings that are functional, distinctive and sustainable.
RESORT AND MULT-FAMILY LANDSCAPE PLANNING
We understand the importance of creating a sense of place in the context of higher density projects. Landscape is essential in creating a comfortable and enjoyable experience on the human-scale that is grounded in the larger environment. McProud and Associates has completed large, multi-family and resort projects in settings as diverse as the San Francisco Bay Area, High Sierra and the deserts of Nevada.
PUBLIC AND EDUCATIONAL LANDSCAPE PLANNING
McProud and Associates has provided landscape architectural services for many schools, recreational facilities, civic improvement projects and public buildings. Where the end-users are the public, we feel an exceptional responsibility to create enduring and appropriate landscape environments.

Josephine McProud’s experience in agriculture gives her valuable expertise in the planning of community gardens, farm-based developments and edible landscapes. As an experienced farmer, Jo has the skills and passion for farm planning, food production, and the integration of food-based landscapes into the fabric of our communities.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION PLANNING
McProud and Associates has provided environmental restoration planning on projects as large as a geothermal power plant and as small as individual storm water treatment basins. Environmental restoration and habitat replacement are essential elements in the care of our changing world.
Practices
SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPE PRACTICES
We believe that landscapes should be designed to minimize impacts on the environment. By carefully selecting plant species that are native or adaptive, specifying appropriate irrigation technologies and utilizing other sustainable materials, we optimize the success of the landscape while minimizing the extensive water use, maintenance or chemical intervention. Several of our projects have been LEED certified by the Green Building Council.
