Resilient Designs

Our
Values

At Saratoga Associates, we understand that it takes more than just good ideas to bring a project from concept to reality. It takes responsive programming, creative design, efficient engineering, thoughtful community planning, and smart economic insight—all working together. That’s why our team of landscape architects, architects, engineers, and planners is dedicated to coordinating these diverse skills to deliver quality, lasting results.

We believe in the power of collaboration to shape, visualize, and realize your goals. Every project we take on reflects our commitment to using resources wisely, respecting the environment, and creating places that inspire and connect people. Whether we’re revitalizing a downtown park, designing a waterfront, or guiding a community through a new vision plan, we’re passionate about helping clients succeed—and making spaces that truly matter.

Proudly serving across New York State and beyond—including Ontario, Steuben, and Tompkins Counties—Saratoga Associates is ready to help you bring your next project to life.

Since 1972

Our team’s unique approach to design is collaborative and synergetic from the start. To us, each project is an opportunity to utilize our nuanced perspective and create shared visions that craft a special sense of place. Our mission is three-fold: we know that creating compelling destinations, enriching communities, and safeguarding special places are independently important but together are the alchemy of successful and sustainable design.
