We respect the cultural landscapes of this nation and the world in all the forms they take.
Over the past twenty-one years we have applied planning and implementation expertise to the preservation and ongoing stewardship of a remarkable legacy of places of local, regional, national and global importance. A range of our projects, work underway and our professional contributions to this increasingly important field are presented here.
In Progress

In 2008, Heritage Landscapes led a multi-disciplinary team of experts to develop a thorough Preservation, Interpretation, and Management Plan for Mellon Square in Pittsburgh, PA. Designed by the landscape architecture firm Simonds & Simonds and architects Mitchell & Ritchey (late 1940s - 1955), it is the first modern garden plaza built over a parking structure in the U.S. and one of the earliest examples of a green roof.
