Mauricio Argente is the founding principal of Sustainable Landesign and has over 30 years of combined landscape architecture, planning, and engineering management experience in both the public and private sectors. His main strength is leading complex multi-disciplinary projects given his previous experience as a city planner, a landscape architect, and project manager of teams of engineers and scientists. This has given him unique qualifications to integrate engineering science with equal attention to environmental and aesthetic concerns. In essence, Mauricio is a landscape architect that has a solid understanding of hydrology, hydraulics, earthworks, infrastructure, transportation, and construction. As increased urban development affects our environment, he has evaluated and implemented solutions that lessen the environmental impacts of projects and guides them into environmental assets for the communities. As a Qualified Stormwater Practitioner and Qualified Stormwater Designer, Mauricio has current relevant experience with modern water and storm water management practices that are now required by many governmental entities, including: bioswales, porous concrete, underground reservoirs, recharge systems and “smart” irrigation systems.
With a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, Mauricio’s life passions blend naturally with his landscape architecture practice. As an avid lifelong cyclist, he understands firsthand the importance of active transportation design and planning, as well as green infrastructure and complete streets.
