Fractional landscape architect for firms that need more capacity
Production support for landscape architecture, civil engineering, and architecture firms: construction documents, grading, planting plans, and Civil 3D workflows. I work in your standards, on your schedule, remotely across the U.S. or in person in North Carolina.
An experienced extra set of hands
For deadlines, busy seasons, and projects that need skills your team doesn't have in-house right now.
Construction documents
Layout, materials, grading, planting, and detail sheets, drafted and coordinated to your firm's standards.
Grading & drainage
Civil 3D surfaces, feature-line grading, spot elevations, and cut/fill for site and landscape scope.
Planting plans
Planting plans, schedules, and details, including landscape ordinance and tree-protection requirements.
Site layout & details
Hardscape layout, dimension plans, and buildable construction details.
CAD & Civil 3D standards
Templates, styles, label sets, and cleanup that make your whole team faster.
GIS & 3D
ArcGIS Pro site analysis, Rhino models, and diagrams for proposals and early design.
Built for small and mid-size teams
- Landscape architecture firms that need extra production capacity without a new full-time hire.
- Civil engineering firms that need landscape plans, planting compliance, or landscape-minded grading.
- Architecture firms with site and landscape scope on their projects.
- Any team moving to Civil 3D that wants someone who can produce work and teach while doing it.
Designer, engineer, teacher
- Licensed landscape architect (PLA) and Engineering Intern (EI), with degrees in landscape architecture and biological engineering from NC State.
- Fluent in the software firms actually use: AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Rhino, Grasshopper, and ArcGIS Pro.
- Used to explaining my work, so handoffs, markups, and coordination go smoothly.
Low-risk to start
Intro call
We talk through the project, your standards, the deadline, and how your team works.
Defined first task
Start with a clear, contained scope so you can see the quality and speed for yourself.
Work in your system
Your templates, your file structure, your markup process. No surprises at handoff.
As needed
Bring me in for the next crunch, or set up a regular block of hours.
Questions from firms
Do you work remotely?
Yes. Most fractional work happens remotely in your files, your templates, and your communication tools. I'm based in Durham, North Carolina, and can meet in person with firms in the Triangle.
What kinds of firms do you support?
Landscape architecture firms that need extra production capacity, civil engineering firms that need landscape plans or Civil 3D grading help, and architecture firms that need site and landscape scope.
Can you work in our standards and templates?
Yes, that's the point. I'll match your CAD standards, sheet setup, and detailing conventions so the work blends into your set.
Can you seal drawings?
Most fractional engagements are production support under your firm's direction and seal. If you need a licensed landscape architect of record for a project, let's talk about the project and its jurisdiction.
How is the work billed?
Usually hourly or as a fixed fee for a clearly defined scope. We'll agree on scope, budget, and schedule before any work starts.
How much availability do you have?
I take on a limited number of engagements at a time so I can meet deadlines reliably. Reach out early if you can see a crunch coming.
Have a deadline or a busy season coming up?
Tell me about the project, the scope, and the timeline. I'll let you know quickly whether I can help.
