OUR GREENGINEERING® PHILOSOPHY

DW Smith Associates, LLC, an entity acquired by PS&S, coined the term Greengineering® over three decades ago and subsequently registered an international trademark for it in 1999. The word encompasses a unique integrated approach to the dynamics of land development, which has been PS&S’s hallmark since 1962.

PS&S has consistently developed and utilized  innovative concepts such as  Greengineering® for everything from small confining sites to multi-faceted projects spreading over large tracts of land. Our concepts always satisfy regulatory and environmental requirements, minimizing the developmental impact without sacrificing valuable resources. PS&S goes beyond traditional engineering disciplines to incorporate the most effective and creative thinking offered by our talented design, technical and environmental teams.

THINKING GREEN

PS&S has been “thinking green” since the 1960’s. Recently, the growing demand for energy efficiency and the stewardship of nature in all types of development projects has created a high demand for our diverse skills in landscape design. When given the opportunity, proper siting of a building, coupled with inventive landscaping can help you save money on heating and cooling costs. Planning early in the process enables the homeowner to best take advantage of any on-site opportunities. With dozens of parks, recreation centers, golf courses, ponds, fountains, athletic facilities, stream and wetland restorations designed and built, our experienced staff has the insight and knowledge you need to take the best economical and aesthetic advantage of your project site.
