We design spaces
where life happens.

Whether consulting on one aspect of a project, or providing full-service planning, civil engineering, and landscape architecture services, we challenge one another.

With offices in Nashville, Chattanooga and Clarksville, we work on a variety of project types and sizes all across the region. Through collaboration across disciplines, we offer thoughtful design solutions to benefit communities, stakeholders, and the environment, without compromise.

We believe the best places start with a clear vision and an integrated team. Too often, multidisciplinary firms fall short in one area, forcing clients to choose between quality and coordination. At CSDG, we excel in planning, civil engineering, and landscape architecture. Whether we’re working together on a project or providing services separately, we collaborate, share ideas, and ensure a seamless, full-service approach that protects your vision and delivers high-quality design work, creating thoughtful, connected places.

We help you navigate complex approvals with confidence. With over 24 years of proven experience and strong relationships across the region, we understand how to navigate your project through zoning, permitting, and municipal processes, thereby avoiding unnecessary delays. We stay ahead of changing regulations, so you don’t get caught off guard. Our connections with agencies and municipalities mean we know who to call—and when—to keep things moving. And once construction begins, we don’t walk away. We stay involved in helping manage changes, resolve issues, and keep your project aligned with your goals and schedule.

We design with resilience—creating localized experiences that withstand challenges and evolve with community needs. At CSDG, we stay true to your creative vision while navigating complexity with intention. Our team provides strategic input at every phase, crafting lasting and sustainable experiences that serve today and endure for generations. With a shared vision and seamless collaboration, we enhance your work—not just execute it—delivering long-term impact without compromise.

We use data proactively to guide better decisions from the start. By analyzing land use patterns, infrastructure capacity, zoning constraints, and community needs, we help clients anticipate challenges and identify opportunities early, thereby minimizing delays and supporting more informed planning. This leads to stronger project outcomes, more precise alignment across teams, and lasting value for both our clients and the communities they impact.
