In an age and area emphasizing water conservation, we also successfully respond to established water budgets and meet new Agency water management restrictions.

This exciting partnership officially launched in January when MSA Consulting acquired RGA, a Palm Desert-based firm with a 40-year history serving the Coachella Valley.  We have successfully developed a transition plan with RGA President/Founder Ron Gregory and his staff, all of whom joined us at MSA’s Rancho Mirage headquarters to collaborate as RGA Landscape Architects, a Design Studio of MSA Consulting, Inc.

The partnership enables MSA to add full-service Landscape Architecture to an expanded menu of in-house services and better serve our clients with streamlined project management. RGA clients will benefit from the same level of expert service that has shaped RGA’s reputation for over 40 years, with the additional resources that MSA provides.
