Our landscape architecture experience includes six Southeastern states. All projects are considered an important part of preserving the natural resources that are essential to continued growth and development.  Mercier Landscape Architect, Inc. provides design services necessary for the development of a comprehensive landscape master plan that utilizes the existing site elements, and incorporates sustainable site elements – including the use of native plants and the harvesting of site storm water utilizing these key factors:

Knowledge of the Local Area and Conditions - Members of Mercier Landscape Architect, Inc. have been practicing landscape architecture (including the design of roads, paths, pavilions, terraces, mitigating stormwater, landscape irrigation and landscape planting) throughout the Southeast for more than 13 years.  We have grown up with the people, the soil, the weather, the flora, the fauna, the growth, and the opportunities in the Southeast.

Specialized Experience – Mercier Landscape Architect, Inc. was founded in 1997, by Bob Mercier, ASLA. Mercier Landscape Architect has completed over three hundred projects throughout Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, and Tennessee. Projects vary in scale from residential master planning, recreational facilities, commercial development master plans, to residential developments. Project responsibilities include design and construction contracts, design and consultant coordination, schematic design, design development, opinion of probable cost, construction documents, bidding/negotiation, and construction observation.

Capacity – With controlled overhead and job acceptance, Mercier Landscape Architect is able to accomplish what larger firms accomplish without the additional manpower and still efficiently manage projects without sacrificing service to our existing clients.  We form a project team that will meet the needs of the project.

Knowledge and Relationship with Qualified Contractors – Our work history of landscape architecture construction has afforded us the opportunity to work with many qualified contractors.  Matching contractor qualifications with the Scope of Work is essential to the successful completion of the project.
