Patrick Gaynor, PLA
Patrick is a Senior Landscape Architect with over 15 years of experience working on civic plazas, parks and open spaces, multimodal and light rail-oriented developments, master plans and streetscape theming, ecological restorations, and site-specific landscape design services.
Patrick has partnered with numerous federal agencies throughout their career. They recently completed a project for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that includes a new visitor center, interpretive art panels, wildlife viewing areas, rehabilitated trails, and a wetland restoration program for the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge in Tulelake, California.
Patrick has also worked on several large infrastructure projects for the departments of transportation in Montana, Alaska, and Oregon. They recently led the design for a project with a wildlife overcrossing, a highway rest area, and an accessible trail network outside of Cooper Landing, Alaska. Once it is completed in 2024, the scheme will reroute the Sterling Highway around a quiet fishing community to allow motorists access to natural resources and recreational opportunities in the forested hills above the Kenai River.
Patrick enjoys collaborating on designs that challenge what is possible. They appreciate the talented and supportive individuals who contribute to the unique and inviting culture at GreenWorks.
When they are not designing, they can be found on the disc golf course perfecting their sidearm. A longtime collector of Legos, they have amassed and built a city of roughly 40,000 bricks with the help of their two daughters. Patrick is an avid hiker and agate hunter. They are always on the lookout for “the best pizza in town.”
