Design Process
In meetings with the development's designers, we identified a need for landscaping that felt welcoming yet low-maintenance to minimize impacts on businesses. Our designs utilized layers of native shrubs, ornamental trees, and palms to create planted boundaries separating the plaza from surrounding roadways. Islands were integrated into parking fields to mitigate urban heat buildup.
Installation & Construction
Site preparation included grading for proper drainage into bioswales planted with drought-tolerant species. Hedgerows were established along sidewalks using a mix of shrubs and small ornamental trees with contrasting heights, colors and textures. Palm trees were strategically located to provide shade over benches and walkways without obstructing storefront visibility.
