Landscape Designer Eric Sylvester believes that everyone should have access to beautiful landscapes that exist as part of the natural environment — not an imposition on it. Through his work on design concepts, drawings, and renderings, he turns complex ideas into something communities and clients can actually see and understand. This approach runs throughout his civic and public work, from the City of Lancaster's three-park initiative and the Cherry Street Park Master Plan to West Goshen Township's Parks, Recreation, and Open Space plan and the Big Elk Creek State Park Master Plan.

 

Eric's work is sharpened by real fluency with design and graphic software and grounded in hands-on experience that ranges from award-winning flower show exhibitions to grounds maintenance — a practical sense of how landscapes get built, mature, and are cared for over time. That experience helps him make a clear case for restorative landscape strategies — and helps people make confident decisions about the places they share. Off the clock, Eric brings that same mix of poetry and precision to the kitchen as an avid home cook; you haven't lived until you've tried his carrot soufflé.

Eric is a graduate of Temple University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture.
