ABOUT US

How does Ambient create enduring connections between land and people and enduring relationships with clients, neighbors, and friends? We deliver excellence in the process as well as the product. Formed in 2005 by engineers and landscape architects, Ambient is powered by effective communication and multi-disciplinary collaboration.

Our engineers and landscape architects work alongside architects, attorneys, environmental specialists, and technicians to provide land development solutions for clients. Ambient's reputation for responsive, well-crafted solutions and outstanding client service, when combined with our established networks of allied professionals, governmental entities, and utility providers, ensures excellent results.

As small business owners, the principals of Ambient Design Group share your desire for quality and personal service. We provide hands-on design and implementation for every client. Our technical expertise powers your development goals.

Different Clients, Different Needs
From traditional site engineering to pre-purchase land assessment, Ambient offers a range of services to assist our clients in achieving their unique land development goals.

We help clients building vacation and retirement homes like the Thompson family identify land for their vision, providing clear guidance on zoning and land use regulations, and slope requirements in our assessment of particular properties.

We help clients such as the Sunny Point Cafe navigate municipal code permitting and zoning requirements as they develop or expand their properties.

We help clients such as Biltmore Baptist Church by inspecting and recertifying their stormwater system each year.

As facilities age, owners such as Skyland Office Park's look to Ambient for guidance on pavement and drainage issues; even minor maintenance efforts extend pavement life and increase clients' return on investment.

Clients engage Ambient for engineering solutions to their drainage, paving, and erosion problems. Attorneys make use of our licensed engineers' Documentation of Drainage Patterns to prepare for or avoid litigation between landowners, contractors, and others.
