In 2000, Bargmann and architect William McDonoug collaborated to repurpose a 1,200-acre Ford Motor Corporation plant in Dearborn, Michigan. As the site was heavily polluted, she received $2 billion to make it ecological friendly. The following year, she received a National Design Awards for her environmental design projects. She later received a fellowship at the Parsons School of Design, School of Constructed Environments. In 2007, she collaborated with Manu Sobti to co-teach at Urban Edge Studio to repurpose Milwaukee’s decaying landscape. As a result of her efforts, she was the recipient of the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee School of Architecture & Urban Planning "Urban Edge award".

In 1992, Bargmann founded D.I.R.T (Dump It Right There), a landscape design studio in Charlottesville, Virginia. She turned what was commonly seen as trash into sculptures and art pieces. One of the projects D.I.R.T focused on was reutilizing former landfill sites into public spaces, such as parks and playgrounds. She also collaborated with various artists, historians, hydrologist, and members of the local community to reconstruct Vintondale, Pennsylvania's acid mine drainage into Vintondale Reclamation Park. Bargmann has stated that she likes to incorporate a site's past into its future because "there’s something dishonest and superficial about giving a site’s (fabricated) physical appearance precedence over its function and history." During this time, Bargmann accepted a position University of Virginia School of Architecture while still continuing to work with D.I.R.T. In 1998, she was a contributing editor to the Landscape Journal from the University of Wisconsin Press.
