Community Visioning is the creation of a program that provides an overall conceptual plan for the community. This visioning program includes development of implementation strategies that empower a community to build meaningful spaces and places in phases as resources become available. The process integrates planning and design techniques with sustainable actions to assist community leaders in making important decisions. It also provides the necessary information about the values and identity of the community that leads to thorough analysis and acceptable results. Our team has been involved in several community visioning plans, including the Downtown LaBelle Master Plan and the North Olga Community Plan.

Master Planning is a process that establishes the long-range plan for the physical development of a project’s size, form, character, image and environment. It includes proposed development areas, preservation areas, themes, circulation, and phasing. The process also addresses character details and defines outdoor spaces that unify all functions of the site. Creating a master plan is important for the success of any development because it articulates the overall vision of the project and directs all development activities.

Site Planning is a process that establishes the optimal uses and layout for a parcel of land. It begins with an assessment of the current zoning for the site and the adjacent properties, as well as the development regulations that govern development of the property. An analysis is performed of the physical features of the land, such as topography, soils, vegetation, and existing infrastructure. The review of this information allows us to plan and design the best possible access, circulation, and location of buildings and structures for the project.

At EnSite, our landscape architects have earned a strong reputation in planning and designing public and private parks. In many instances, our projects restore the pristine natural environment and add public amenities such as trails, observation decks, picnic areas, and pavilions. We have also worked with more traditional active parks that include sports fields, pools, wet playgrounds, running trails, tennis facilities, and full amenity centers. Parks are important because they have a significant impact on improving the quality of life for the community.

Projects large and small all need a unique identity - something that enhances the character and sense of place. At EnSite, we can provide our clients with a full identity package. This package includes enhanced planting design, lighting, way finding, monument signage, architectural standards, connections to natural elements, public open space, and character sketches. These elements provide guidance for the enhancement and preservation of the project’s identity.

Residential landscape design is the art of creating private spaces that offer the greatest use, experience and enjoyment. It is an art and a science, blending the understanding of the setting in which the residence belongs and developing a palette that will perform well in that environment. A well-conceived landscape design that is properly installed and well maintained adds value to your property and enhances your quality of life. A successful residential design is measured by four distinct standards: aesthetics, economics, functionality, and sensitivity to the environment. Our design team works closely with each homeowner to be attentive to their vision and goals, which EnSures their piece of paradise receives the attention it deserves.

The collaboration of planning, civil engineering, landscape architecture, and permitting efforts EnSures successful projects. Our staff has years of experience with developing, designing, permitting, and certifying a wide spectrum of projects. We have seasoned project managers who provide coordination and oversight of the consultant team, as well as continuous communication with all stakeholders. We have assisted our clients in obtaining countless site development, environmental resource and water use, utility and roadway and right-of-way permits.

Our team understands the importance of making a good first impression - your marketing, branding, and presentation materials are a key to creating a lasting impression. Our talented design staff is well-versed in the creation of visual communication and presentations, especially in today’s world of digital and social mediums. We have the ability to provide our clients with a full “branding” package. A typical branding and marketing package could include the creation of logos, handouts, postcards, mailers, websites, business cards, brochures, and portfolios. The composition of the elements, such as the logo, text, and other graphics must successfully interact to unify the “brand.” We have assisted our clients in obtaining countless site development, environmental resource and water use, utility and roadway and right-of-way permits.
