Contour Design Studio

We're excited to announce that on February 1, 2021, Contour Design Studio will become AGL Landscape Architects P.C.

AGL LA, with offices in Bismarck and Fargo, ND, is being formed by Jake Axtman, Brett Gurholt and Bryan Leininger, all Professional Landscape Architects, each with diverse portfolios and project experience.

We take this leap forward with an immense amount of gratitude, optimism and an even greater commitment to the profession of Landscape Architecture and the clients and colleagues we serve.

Stay tuned!
