HBLA inc

HBLA Inc. is a landscape architecture firm celebrating over 30 years of professional practice specializing in site planning and design of evidence informed, therapeutic landscapes and gardens (nature) for Senior Living and Hospice projects in the Northeast. Truly a pioneering firm and expert in this field, HBLA is committed to the art and science of site and landscape design in an attempt to maximize and improve health outcomes (mind, body, spirit) for our elders and for those who are dying. Recognizing not all gardens are inherently therapeutic and in some cases can actually cause harm, the firm's design process is grounded in an ongoing, vigorous, literature review process incorporating latest research. To this passion the firm's President and Founder Robert Hoover, advocates for, writes, researches, teaches and lectures throughout the United States. To this commitment, Rob personally applies his 33 years of professional experience to each and every project. Nationally recognized for his leadership in this field, HBLA's work has won numerous awards, has been exhibited nationally as well as internationally at the European Reminiscence Network Conference in London, England.
