Creating positive environmental change.
Michigan’s natural landscape is unique and worthy of preservation and enhancement.
OCBA Landscape Architects has provided award-winning planning and design services since 1964.
Our dedicated staff of landscape architects is thoughtful about ecological beauty and environmental assets. We continually look for opportunities to conserve and incorporate natural beauty with development planning.
We believe in going beyond the initial design to think about how the landscape performs over its lifecycle. The work we do fosters health and environmental benefits and can help our clients achieve their sustainability goals.
Beyond ‘Green.’
With a finger on the pulse of both environmental stewardship and public space design, OCBA approaches planting design with an eye to:
Developing layers of plant diversity that can survive a variety of climate conditions.
Minimizing maintenance so that the landscape can thrive with limited resources.
Creating accessible and connected spaces that are comfortable, sociable, and that people want to visit again and again.
Healthier Tomorrows
With our robust expertise, OCBA is able to develop green infrastructure solutions that address rainfall integration in a
cost-effective way.
We focus on enhancing and improving habitats, increasing connectivity between natural areas, and providing opportunities for
multi-generational recreation such as hiking and birdwatching that promote improved mental and physical health.
