Patrick Sarver, LA

Patrick Sarver is the Principal Landscape Architect at Civil Site Group, where he brings over 30+ years of experience in site planning, design, and land development strategy. As a registered landscape architect and seasoned project manager, Pat leads clients through new development and re-development projects with a blend of creative vision, technical expertise, and grounded guidance.

His professional strengths span master planning, site design, streetscapes, municipal entitlement processes, and construction documentation. From early-stage site prospecting and land analysis to detailed design and construction observation, Pat has a proven ability to navigate complex projects from concept through completion. He’s especially skilled in providing 3D visualization, landscape rendering, and grading design, helping clients see their projects take shape before construction begins.

As one of Civil Site Group’s Co-Founders, Pat is not only a technical leader but a cultural cornerstone of the firm. He leads with humility and purpose, creating an environment where people feel supported, heard, and empowered to grow. Alongside Matt, he has helped shape a company culture that values excellence without overwork—prioritizing a healthy work-life balance through a consistent, flexible 40-hour work week that respects time with loved ones and time to recharge.

Outside of the office, Pat enjoys spending quality time at his cabin with family, catching up with friends, and experiencing city life as a proud Minneapolis resident. He can often be found attending live shows and events with his wife Cindy, cheering on MN United, or rooting for his favorite football team—the Green Bay Packers. An avid runner, he’s currently working on shaving minutes off his half marathon time. Pat is also the proud owner of the office regulars, two spirited boxers, Ruby and Pearl, who bring energy (and occasional chaos) to the office as beloved team mascots.
