Human & Rohde, Inc.

The firm began in 1980 when John Rohde joined Ted Human to form Human & Rohde, Inc. Since that time, Human & Rohde, Inc. has offered a wide variety of landscape architectural and environmental services, including park and recreational planning, streetscape and urban design, commercial, campus and government facilities landscape design, wetland delineation and mitigation, and forest conservation services. Because we are a small consulting firm, we can work intimately with our clients, offering the expertise of five (5) Maryland registered landscape architects and one (1) environmental specialist. The varied skills and experience of all of Human and Rohde’s employees complement each other and result in an exceptional design team.

Human & Rohde, Inc. has been providing park and trail design throughout Maryland for nearly forty years for projects ranging in size from 1-acre urban sites to over 200-acre rural settings.  We have a long history of work for parks departments and other government agencies, school systems, and commercial clients.  Our firm has been fortunate to be prime contractor for Landscape Architecture I.D.Q. contracts with the Frederick County Division of Parks and Recreation since 2004.
