| Landscape architecture,
as a profession, was created when Federick Law Olmsted designed the first
American park. This park is known as Central Park, which is located in New
York City, and built just before the civil war. Since then, landscape architects
have been involved with every type of park imaginable.
Abbey Associates have designed many parks, recreation
areas, natural areas and park interpretive centers for local, state and
federal governments as well as private clients. The firm provides a full
range of park planning and design services such as site selection, site
analysis, park layout, detail design, cost estimating and construction
administration.
