Founded in 1987 by Earl Broussard and Tom Afflerbach, TBG Partners is one of the Southwest’s premier landscape architecture and planning firms. The firm is dedicated to creating spaces that celebrate l ife and developing innovative solutions for each and every project. This commitment and the firm’s extensive capabil it ies have resulted in some of the most distinguished landscape projects in Texas and the nation. With five Texas offices and a staff of talented and dedicated personnel, TBG offers uniquely responsive solutions that create long-term value and enhance their communities’ quality of l ife.
Over the years TBG has worked on many higher education projects ranging widely in character, setting and scope. Projects range from single residence halls, streetscapes and pedestrian malls to comprehensive master plans. TBG recognizes that college and university campuses are sites of memory and meaning comprised of cultural spaces with extraordinary significance. It is the university as a place and not a collection of buildings that creates memories for students. It is the connective fabric between buildings, the “campus landscape” in which students’ fondest memories are created. TBG’s passion for academia is surpassed perhaps only by the firm’s commitment to its cl ients and exemplary design. We look forward to exploring the grand opportunities that exist within your institution’s campus environment.

Texas State University Concho Mall - San Marcos, Texas Before
The development of gray to green on campuses •is a reaction to the realization that classroom and laboratory buildings have been super-sizing over the last 40 years, diminishing the natural environment.
With the addition of green space, the image of •the University evolves from a commuter campus to an academic village.
