CBA Landscape Architects

At CBA Landscape Architects LLC, we take pride in being a creative, reliable, collaborative, responsive, and adaptive firm. We are landscape architects who focus on achieving outstanding design outcomes using the resources available to us and our clients. Our approach is imaginative and solutions-oriented, blending design intuition with project-specific data to guide our decision-making process.

We tailor our approach for each project, whether we work with an architect, homeowner, developer, non-profit organization, or public agency. Our designs reflect the goals, values, and needs of our clients, and we demonstrate responsiveness with clear communication that encourages dialogue between our clients, our subconsultants, and project stakeholders.

Our landscapes are adaptable to changes in the natural and built environments, adjust to programming changes over time, and inclusively accommodate diverse user groups. CBA Landscape Architects was founded by Clara Couric Batchelor in 1984. Our designs have won awards from the BSLA, BSA, and several additional organizations. Our landscapes have been published in Landscape Architecture Magazine, the New York Times, New England Home, and other local and national publications.
