SWA Group, winners of over 400 national and international awards, is one of the largest landscape architecture and planning firms in the world. JGA has worked with their Houston and Dallas offices since 1980 on a wide range of projects.

The SWA Group has been an invaluable partner in integrating the exterior landscaping and hardscape with the building design.
