In Memory of Clint Genoble, LEED AP
Associate Principal of EDGE – Nashville
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our colleague and friend, Clint Genoble, Associate Principal of EDGE. Joining the firm in 2005, Clint quickly became a dedicated member of our Nashville office, bringing a depth of knowledge and technical skill that grounded every project and team he touched. His contributions helped shape the landscapes of cities and neighborhoods across the Southeast and beyond—places that continue to reflect his thoughtful planning, commitment to community, and passion for design.
Clint’s professional journey began with a Bachelor’s Degree in Ornamental Horticulture from the University of Tennessee. He later earned a Master’s Degree in Landscape Architecture from Louisiana State University. Over his career, Clint shaped hundreds of projects that made meaningful, lasting contributions to communities and public spaces. Some of his most notable projects include:
- The Gateway to Heritage and Jefferson Street Heritage Walk – Nashville, TN
- The Music City Walk of Fame Park – Nashville, TN
- Indian Lake Village – Hendersonville, TN
- The Nashville and Davidson County Long Term Flood Recovery Plan – Nashville, TN
- The BW Cooper Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan – New Orleans, LA
- The Duck River Walk and Streetscape Improvements – Columbia, TN
- Lockwood Glen Community Master Plan and Amenities – Franklin, TN
- Stone Ridge Community Master Plan and Amenities – Chantilly, VA
- Brentwood YMCA – Brentwood, TN
His love for his home state of Tennessee ran deep, evident in the countless landscapes across the region that he helped shape. When asked about his most memorable project, Clint had described the lasting impact the Gateway to Heritage project left on him, sharing how meaningful it was “incorporating landscape, hardscape, and art to beautify a once disadvantaged area of town.”
Clint brought a rare combination of thoughtfulness and conviction to everything he did. His approach to design was grounded in care—for the land, for the people who would inhabit it, and for the long-term impact of each decision. He believed in planning responsibly and preserving the natural character of a place, and his work consistently reflected that passion. Whether leading a large-scale plan or detailing a site, Clint remained committed to designing with purpose and integrity.
That same sense of care extended to the people around him. Clint was a steady presence in our office—dependable, perceptive, and always willing to make time for others. He brought warmth and clarity to conversations, offered humor during stressful moments, and never hesitated to share a kind word. He had a gift for listening, and a way of offering perspective that could guide a team forward. Incredibly humble, Clint didn’t need the spotlight to make a difference; he led by staying engaged and offering encouragement that helped others do their best work.
Clint’s passing leaves a profound absence in our hearts and in the profession of landscape architecture. His legacy lives on not only in the landscapes he helped shape but in the values he lived by. We are so incredibly grateful for the time we had with him and will continue to look to Clint’s enduring example.
