Gavan & Barker, Inc. was created with the vision that an integrated design approach, merging the disciplines of civil engineering and landscape architecture, results in better client service and enhanced projects. Our focus is the planning and design of projects that include significant civil engineering and hydrologic design requirements coupled with major landscape architecture elements.
The partners, Civil Engineer Mark Gavan and Landscape Architect John Barker, have been working together since 1987. Over time, their relationship has evolved into a collaborative, team approach that improves the design process and leads to more effective solutions. They have found that collaboration on the project as a whole, including all aspects of the design, combines the form and function creativity of landscape architecture with the analytical, problem solving expertise of civil engineering, leading to better design.
Our team approach provides our clients with a planning and design group that excels at providing civil engineering and landscape architecture services in the areas of:
Site Design • Multi-Use Flood Control Works • Roadway and Drainage Design
Parks & Recreation Projects • Urban Street Enhancements • Shared-Use Pathways
