About Us

WHO WE ARE

CLS & Associates is a landscape architecture firm based in Oklahoma City, designing outdoor environments that are functional, enduring, and rooted in regional expertise. For more than two decades, we’ve partnered with homeowners, developers, architects, engineers, and municipalities to create landscapes that work beautifully on the first day—and every year after.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

 Great design begins with listening. We take time to understand your goals, constraints, and the realities of your site before putting pencil to paper. From there, we shape landscapes that are grounded in craft, construction knowledge, and a clear understanding of Oklahoma’s climate, soils, and environmental conditions.

WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE CLS

Oklahoma Expertise
We understand this region, its ecosystems, and its construction practices. Whether it’s clay soils, steep grades, stormwater challenges, or intense heat, we design for real-world performance.

Native Plant Leadership
As lead authors of Oklahoma Native Plants for People and Pollinators, we have deep knowledge of regionally adapted plants—but we never force a particular aesthetic. Our goal is the right solution for each project.

We Proudly Support Oklahomans

Our grant-writing has secured tens of millions in funding for our public partners over the decades - and we're proud to stand by their side as we continue to support new projects that benefit our friends and neighbors.

Accurate & Buildable Plans
Contractors rely on our comprehensive and detail-oriented drawing packages. Homeowners and municipalities appreciate that construction matches the vision.

Responsive & Proactive Communication
We’re known for our fast response times—usually the same day—and for anticipating issues before they become problems.

Simple, Predictable Process
Clear steps. Clear timelines. Clear communication.

People First Approach

We make sure that our designs meet clients' needs by listening intently, proactively problem-solving to find solutions, and assisting wherever possible.

Award-Winning Designs

TESTIMONIALS

 

 We hold CLS & Associates in highest regard.  Kingfisher Trails began our work with an award-winning Master Plan... followed by a string of successful grants. They are a full-service team - first rate design paired with grant writing, construction documents, and project management.

- J. Gooden, Kingfisher Trails

I have worked with CLS on a number of projects that presented unique challenges, and Connie and Brian were there to provide creative solutions every step of the way. We have always enjoyed a close collaboration between their staff and ours as modification and adjustment become necessary. Communication has always been open and candid, and this has created an environment of trust between LWPB Architecture and CLS & Associates.  

- C. Foster, LWPB Architecture  

 

 Your design for the front of our house is thriving. We love it and are now seeking your help for a problem area in the backyard.  

B, Homeowner

I’m amazed by your design - it is very different than anything I could have imagined. I is going to be beautiful, outstanding and unique - which is the goal I wanted.
