About Us

Since the company’s beginning in 1985, we’ve blended the disciplines of civil engineering and landscape architecture from concept to completion to create places of legacy and inspiration for our clients, community, and family.

With over 200 employees and offices in Mount Pleasant, Greenville, Summerville, Spartanburg, and Columbia, SC, as well as Charlotte and Raleigh, NC, SW+ inspires employees to stand behind its tagline, “Elevating the site design experience.” Company culture is at the core of who we are.
