Cleveland Landscape Architects
Since the 1950’s, BEHNKE has focused on strengthening Northeast Ohio communities. Behnke started in the Euclid Arcade in 1959 as the firm of Behnke, Szunyog and Ness. We soon transitioned to Behnke, Ness & Litten, stationed on Shaker Boulevard, and then to Behnke Associates, Inc. in 1970, moving to University Circle and then the Warehouse District. Located in the Flats in 2013, we sharpened our brand as Behnke Landscape Architecture, and in 2018, we relocated to our current office in the historic Wagner Awning Company building in Tremont.
