SITE PLANNING
Integrated eco-effective design approach to encourage restorative and regenerative effects.
- Design responsive to natural hydrology, soils, landform, vegetation, and climate.
- Site regraded to restore contouring more consistent with historic landforms.
- Catchment of rainwater and run-off for reuse.
- Preservation and enhancement of wildlife habitat and corridors.
- Preservation of native trees and vegetation.
- Balanced cut and fill, no off-haul.
- Removal of non-native vegetation. Reuse of harvested wood and chippings.
- Relocation of existing native trees in lieu of removal.
- Use of reclaimed/salvaged boulders in lieu of engineered retaining walls.
- Use of reclaimed/salvaged paving stone for outdoor use areas.
- Maximized porous paved surfaces and installation methods.
- Use of native bunch grass species in lieu of conventional turf.
