As EDGE evolves, we have recognized the need to better express our brand, story, and values. We are proud to share a refreshed brand identity that
honors our history while representing who we are today—a collaborative team dedicated to finding the boundless potential in every project.
Our new visual identity aims to celebrate our work without overshadowing it. Our outlined logo serves as a subtle watermark, putting the focus on the work that ultimately belongs to the communities, institutions, companies, and owners we serve. We have shifted away from bold red to a versatile color palette intended to compliment rather than compete with our project photography.
We invite you to rediscover EDGE by watching our brand video and visiting the newly renovated edgela.com.
As part of @nationalasla ’s World Landscape Architecture Month, we asked EDGE co-op Nadia Ndematebem to reflect on the experiences that have informed her perspective on landscape architecture. From her time at Knowlton to her co-op at EDGE and her involvement with LABash, her story highlights learning as an ongoing part of growth in the profession.

Considering starting the LARE process? Today for Professional Landscape Architect Day, we asked EDGE team members a simple question: Why pursue licensure?
Megan Meyer, Associate, is currently working through the exams. Jack McDonough, Senior Associate, has been licensed since 2022. Their reflections speak to what the process asks of you, what it gives back, and why licensure matters beyond the credential itself.

These winter scenes at @colsrecparks ' Warner Woods Park feel like a study in seasonality.
As snow falls quietly through the canopy above, the boardwalk takes on a different character. Color gives way to form, texture, and longer sightlines, shifting the mood of the landscape overnight. The last red leaves hold on against the expanse of white, creating a distinct seasonal experience that only lasts for a short window each year.

Hilliard’s Recreation Campus sets a new standard for community-scale recreation. EDGE partnered with the @hilliardgov and @hilliardrecreationandparks to master plan 125 acres where trails, athletic fields, and outdoor gathering spaces work as one system, supporting daily use while handling the scale and logistics of regional events.
@osbornengineering was an invaluable partner in shaping how the athletic components function for players, families, and tournament operations. The result is a campus that is accessible, organized, and ready for whatever the season brings.

Congrats to @columbuslibrary and the community on the opening of the new Linden Branch. The turnout today said everything. Despite the snow, people came out in force to check out the new space and their next read.
@moodynolandesign led the architectural design, with EDGE providing landscape architecture. We focused on the experience from the sidewalk in, improving visibility and creating a clearer, more welcoming arrival with thoughtfully placed walkways and landscape elements. A children’s rooftop terrace adds a protected outdoor space with play features, giving kids a place to do homework, hang out, and burn off some energy.
This branch is built for what comes next, designed to grow with the community and support what’s ahead.

The @greaterdaytonschool ’s new PK–8 campus treats the site as part of the curriculum, creating daily opportunities for outdoor learning, movement, and discovery. Working with @moodynolandesign , EDGE designed an “education loop” that connects an integrated track, field, playground, entry plazas, and outdoor terraces through clear, intuitive circulation. Universally designed play elements, resilient poured-in-place and turf surfacing, and thoughtfully integrated perimeter fencing support a safe, inclusive outdoor environment for students of all ages and abilities.

While capturing the updated Deer Creek Lodge & Welcome Center, nature’s cutest photo-bomber strolled in with the confidence of someone whose name is literally on the sign.
EDGE partnered with ODNR to deliver aesthetic upgrades that make arrival intuitive and welcoming. Inspired by Deer Creek’s historic prairie and plains character, native grasses and oak savanna plantings support wildlife, and a communal firepit creates an easy place for visitors to gather.

Great amenity spaces bring the best parts of a night out steps from your door. Fifth x Northwest is anchored by two rooftop destinations: a resort-style podium pool terrace for lounging, plus a sixth-floor sky lounge that opens to a fire pit patio with skyline views. With 10,000sf of first-floor retail and a 10-minute walk to Grandview’s dining, shopping, and entertainment, weekend plans come built in.

Congrats to the @columbuslibrary team and the Canal Winchester community on the grand opening of the new Canal Winchester Branch. The energy of this weekend's celebration and incredible turnout made it clear that this is a space the community is eager to use from day one. At 30,000sf, the new branch creates room for how people use a library today, including meeting rooms, study rooms, an interactive children’s area, dedicated tween and teen spaces, learning center, business center, plus a range of seating and quiet reading areas.
@bostwick_design_partnership and @wellogy_design led the architectural design, with EDGE providing landscape architecture. Together, the team extended the library experience outdoors with a shaded patio seating area, foundation plantings, clear pedestrian and vehicular circulation, and integrated safety features that support daily visits and community events. Floor-to-ceiling windows strengthen the connection between indoor spaces and the landscape, bringing in abundant daylight to support wellbeing.

Last night at Douglas Community Center, EDGE joined @colsrecparks , @wxystudio , and @murphyepson to listen, learn, and talk through what the Linden Green Line can become. We are proud to support WXY as they lead this effort, bringing regional planning and landscape architecture expertise to help translate your community priorities into a connected vision. Thank you to everyone who showed up and shared honest, thoughtful input. The turnout was strong, and the conversations were even better.
Northland neighbors, there is another chance to weigh in tonight, Wednesday, January 14, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Woodward Park Community Center. Come share what you want to see along the Green Line and help shape a park and trail that strengthens access, safety, and neighborhood connection.
