McAdams Expands in Florida as Demand Grows for Landscapes That Perform

Florida is growing—and the landscapes supporting that growth need to work harder.As development accelerates across Florida, managing water, preserving natural systems and planning for long-term resiliency are becoming increasingly important parts of the design conversation.In this episode of SYNKD On Air, Angelique Robb talks with McAdams’ Sara Donohoe, RLA, and Daniel Wiebke about the firm’s expansion in Florida and a bigger shift happening across the industry: treating landscape as infrastructure rather than an aesthetic added at the end.From green stormwater infrastructure and native planting to flooding, drought and long-term maintenance, Sara and Daniel explain why bringing landscape architects, engineers and other disciplines together early can create places that function better, adapt over time and make smarter use of the land.The conversation explores what Florida’s continued growth could mean for the future of landscape design—and why designing with nature from day one matters.https://mcadamsco.com/
