Landscape Architect Coeur d'Alene Idaho | PLACE Landscape Architecture
Landscape Architecture Rooted in the Beauty of Coeur d'Alene
Coeur d'Alene sits at the edge of one of the most beautiful lakes in North America, surrounded by forested mountains and blessed with a natural setting that draws visitors and new residents from across the country. PLACE Landscape Architecture serves Coeur d'Alene and the surrounding Kootenai County communities with landscape design that honors and enhances this extraordinary natural context. Our team of licensed landscape architects brings award-winning design expertise and deep knowledge of North Idaho's ecological conditions to every project we take on in the Coeur d'Alene area — from residential lakefront properties to commercial developments along the city's rapidly growing corridors.
Coeur d'Alene is one of the fastest-growing cities in the American West, and that growth is reshaping the built environment at a rapid pace. In this context, the quality of landscape design matters more than ever — thoughtful outdoor environments help new development fit harmoniously into the natural landscape, protect water quality in Lake Coeur d'Alene and its tributaries, and create the livable, attractive public spaces that define great cities. PLACE brings both the design vision and the technical expertise to deliver landscape architecture that rises to that challenge.
Residential Projects on Lake Coeur d'Alene and Beyond
Some of the most exciting residential landscape work in North Idaho happens on the shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene, where properties combine spectacular water views with challenging site conditions — steep slopes, shoreline setbacks, sensitive riparian vegetation, and the need to design in a way that preserves rather than degrades the lake environment. PLACE's landscape architects have the site planning expertise and ecological knowledge to design lakefront properties that are stunning, functional, and fully compliant with shoreline management regulations. We design with the lake in mind — orienting views, managing grades, selecting plantings that stabilize shorelines and filter runoff, and creating outdoor living spaces that maximize the extraordinary setting.
Inland residential projects in Coeur d'Alene and Kootenai County present their own design opportunities — mature neighborhoods with established trees, new subdivisions on the urban fringe, hillside properties with dramatic views, and everything in between. PLACE approaches each residential project with the same careful site analysis and client-centered design process that has earned us recognition as one of the Pacific Northwest's leading landscape architecture firms.

Commercial and Mixed-Use Landscape Design in Kootenai County
Coeur d'Alene's commercial real estate market is among the most active in Idaho, with significant new development happening along the major corridors and in the downtown core. PLACE provides commercial landscape architecture services for developers and property owners throughout Kootenai County, delivering designs that meet city landscaping requirements, enhance property value, and contribute to Coeur d'Alene's reputation as one of Idaho's most attractive communities. Our commercial work in the area has included mixed-use housing developments, retail centers, office buildings, and hospitality projects — each designed with the care and expertise that sets PLACE work apart.
One of our notable Coeur d'Alene area projects is the Midtown mixed-use development on 4th Avenue, which demonstrates our ability to design urban residential landscapes that connect residents to walkable amenities and the surrounding community. This kind of work — thoughtful, urban, human-scaled — represents the future of Coeur d'Alene's growth, and PLACE is proud to be part of shaping it in a positive direction.
