We’re excited to introduce SITES, a new framework from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) that complements LEED projects with comprehensive landscape and site design.

With Jason King on our team, we’re the first firm in Oregon to offer this expertise to our clients. GreenWorks has been a leader in resilient design and sustainable landscape architecture since our founding in 1987. Adding SITES to our toolkit reaffirms our commitment to sustainability and ensures our processes fit the needs of our communities and environment.
