Spalding DeDecker in Rochester Hills, a civil engineering, planning, and surveying firm, acquired Landscape Architects & Planners Inc. in Lansing as part of Spalding’s plan to expand its service offerings and capabilities.
The move also is expected to fortify Spalding’s presence in the civil engineering and green infrastructure segments.
Landscape was formed in 1994 from the merger of Robert Ford and Associates and Mark Hornung Landscape Architects and Planners. The company provides a full range of landscape architectural and planning services.
The staff includes landscape architects, land planners, park planners, nationally certified playground safety inspectors/designers, surface mine reclamation specialists, and stormwater designers/inspectors.
“This acquisition marks a significant addition for us, as we continue to evolve and grow,” says Steve Benedettini, president of Spalding DeDecker. “We are adding landscape architectural and planning to our services and we will be working closely with Bob Ford and his staff to serve more clients in the Lansing area and throughout Michigan.”
