E. L. Tarlton & Associates, Inc. (ELT) is a minority-owned and operated corporation providing services in the areas of landscape design, land development, urban planning, and project management. Established in 1996, ELT principals have experience serving a wide range of clients in the commercial, industrial, residential, and public sector improving the quality of the built environment.

Our goal, through sound creative analysis and planning, is to visualize, design, implement and maintain environments that incorporate strong themes and appreciation, enhancing the experience of these spaces. To accomplish this goal, we are committed to working in a prime role or as an integral member of a team of design professionals to collaborate on the best possible solution for each specific design problem, to meet the needs of our clients.

ELT emphasizes client/community participation throughout the design process. This cooperative participation is essential to the acceptance and quality of the project. Principal involvement occurs in all phases of the design, implementation, and maintenance processes. We feel this approach enables continuity and aids in the successful completion of projects of varying scopes, on time, and within budget.

ELT’s experience with local, state, and federal level projects has molded an intensely responsive design team capable of adapting an owner’s preferred criteria to the high standards of thoughtful landscape design.
