Landscape Architecture is an art dealing with the planning and design of the exterior environment and its natural elements; plant materials and land forms, and their relationship with the built form. To develop creative solutions to problems, a Landscape Architect draws from a broad combination of skills and training in the fields of architecture, science, civil engineering, horticulture, and the arts. Nancy Lyons Hannick established NLH Landscape Architects in 1987 as a full service firm with the committment of providing personalized landscape architectural services for a client base in and around the Chicagoland region.
