Palm Desert Business Celebrates 4 Decades in Valley

From RGA Landscape Architects: RGA Landscape Architects, Inc. (RGA) is celebrating its 40th anniversary this month. Since 1977, the firm continues to work with a variety of clients including country clubs, HOA’s, educational facilities, governmental agencies, senior housing communities, apartment and condominium complexes, medical institutions, hotels, churches, parks and recreation, residential communities, and others.

Notably, RGA is at the forefront of water efficient design and a leader in planning for renewable resources. In fact, several cities and water agencies have retained the firm’s services to prepare prototypical residential landscapes and they have also been retained directly by Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD), Joshua Basin Water District and the Mojave Water Agency to design water efficient demonstrations. CVWD also recently awarded Ironwood Community Association an “Outstanding Commercial Water Saver” award for the extraordinary water reduction resulting from RGA’s architectural designs.

The firm is also recognized for its expertise in working closely with Home Owners Associations (HOA’s) to convert country club landscaping for conservation and sustainability. Being well-versed in communicating with the various parties involved for new projects and redesigns, they are able to coordinate the work among landscape committees, Boards and HOA members to present ideas and cost estimates so that clients can make informed and fiscally-prudent decisions.

“We pride ourselves on being a service oriented design practice to assist all of our clients throughout the entire phase of their project, helping them to understand all of the many facets to ensure their expectations are met,” said Ron Gregory, president of RGA. “I am proud of our team and the exceptional work that they provide to our varied client base year-round as we celebrate 40 years!”

Established in 1977 in Palm Desert, RGA offers a variety of solutions for environmentally compatible landscapes through careful site planning, plant selection and irrigation efficiency to address the needs of communities, governmental agencies, country clubs and home owner associations, businesses and residents.

While water efficiency is the catalyst for much of their work, RGA’s landscape designs are beautiful and easily maintained. RGA is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, and LEED accredited professionals are on staff. The firm is also an industry leader in the use of solar powered irrigation controllers and photovoltaic landscape lighting. RGA’s 40 years of experience includes servicing clients not only in the Coachella Valley, but to Southern California as a whole, and to the provinces of Liaoning, Guangdong and Sichuan in China. The firm has been notably recognized with 100+ industry awards for various project designs.
