We are dedicated to breakthrough ideas that create a better future. Little was originally founded in Charlotte. NC back in 1964 and has continued to grow ever since. We currently have nearly 400 employees and five offices across the United States. Little came to Southern California 19 years ago and has been steadily building on that history ever since. Our office in Newport Beach currently employs 65 and consists of five architectural studios that are complimented by having in-house Land Development Services (Civil Engineering and Landscape Architecture) and Structural Engineering. With complete in-house expertise for holistic, integrated architecture, engineering, and land development, we provide our clients the most efficient, sustainable, high-performance design. WHY LITTLE? Our lead Landscape Architect for this pursuit has been designing irrigation systems in Southern California for more than twenty years. Most Landscape Architect's these days tend to farm out their irrigation design work and focus on the hardscape and planting side of typical landscape architectural scope. Mr. Ledbetter however got his start in the business down in San Diego and where he learned irrigation doing large tract housing projects that included vast slope areas that were being irrigated as partof grading permits for new developments. These often included challenges in terms of adequate pressure and extended mainline runs and multiple controllers and meters/ POCs. Since then, he has been living and working in Southern California and providing irrigation design and documentation for all his projects. Mr. Ledbetterjoined Little in 2016 and his first order of business was designing a new irrigation system for a 26 acre corporate headquarters up in Roseville, CA. The project included multiple POCs with booster pumps and state of the art irrigation controllers that operate and adjust automatically based on actual ETD. Little's strengths are its people and the culture they cultivate inside the office. It's our diversity that helps galvanize a culture of excellence and a belief that the next great idea can come from anyone. Whether new to the firm, or an established associate, everyone is expected to hold our core values at the heart the decisions they make; Care, Stretch, Spark. Care about their projects, their clients, and their fellow employees. Stretch their imagination outside the box to find the next breakthrough idea. Spark the imaginations of those around them by not being afraid to say, "What if?" We look forward to the opportunity to show you what we're capable of.
