Typical landscape architectural services might include:

◆ Assistance in defining a project program

◆ Analysis of site opportunities and constraints

◆ Development of preliminary drawings which fit the project program within site and budget constraints

◆ Design compliance with applicable codes and ordinances

◆ Review and refinement of preliminary plans with client and agency revisions, as necessary

◆ Obtain project approvals from jurisdictional agencies

◆ Presentations to public agency and community groups ◆ Team consulting with other professionals

◆ Providing construction drawings (details and specifica tions) which are used to obtain bids and implement design

◆ Assistance in obtaining bids from contractors

◆ Construction observation of work in progress for consis tency with design intent

◆ Landscape maintenance guidelines and monitoring

Landscape Design Process

1) Preferences: The first step is to Brainstorm. Gather all your idea books, favorite books and magazine photos – make a short note about what you like in each photo. Houzz is a great for this – there are 90,000+ magazine quality photos of landscapes (under the category “Exterior”) that can be searched, sorted, and stored into idea books that can be easily shared.

2) Goals: Write a clear, concise description of the intended goals of the project—whose goals they are and the key issues. Sometimes the goal is just to create a transition from the street to the door, other times there are many goals which will be incorporated into a property-wide plan.

3) Needs: Define the scope of work and the features you want. Be as specific as possible – for example, if the goal is “a place to entertain”, the features might include a built-in grill, fireplace, seating area and dining pavillion.

34

4) Deliverables/Schedule: Determine if you want a full plan (property-wide), a design for one or two areas of your property (i.e. front entrance, back yard), or just a design/estimate for a single feature (walkway, firepit). Our goal is to make everyone involved as happy as we can, so we need you to define the people involved in the decision making process, and to whom we would report (contact person).

5) Budget – The budget is usually the hardest part for new clients to tackle since they don’t have previous experience with landscaping costs. We also often come in to the picture at the end of a remodel or new house building project, and we understand that funds and patience can be worn thin by that point.

Once the checklist is complete we can move on to the next stages – the Site Survey and Developing a Concept Plan. However, there’s one really important step in the middle that separates Traditional Landscape Design from Ecological Landscape Design – and that’s evaluating whether there is an opportunity to improve ecosystem services while meeting the goals and needs of the client . For example, can we Protect and Restore:

• Water systems by managing stormwater on site (rain capture and re-use, green roofs, permeable paving) or planting shoreline buffers

• Vegetation by controlling invasive plants, preserving and restoring native plant communities

• Soils by reducing erosion and adding biomass and fertility with compost

• Climate and Air quality by reducing heating and coolin with trees , using local and recycled/salvage materials, creating organic human food systems

• Biodiversity and Wildlife Habitats by providing food sources for pollinators, birds, and other creatures, create corridors and spaces for animals to access water and shelter, and building Habitat Trails so we can observe and appreciate Nature.

Plant Placement

37

Research :Type of plants

ALPINEa small plant that grows on high mountains

a plant, usually with flowers, that is put in the garden at the beginning of a season and thrown away at the end.

Bedding Plant

Creeper Planta plant with long stems that grow along the ground, around other plants, or up walls.

38

Research : Hardscape

Rough pavement forbicyclists and cars.

Sidewalk with street trees all alongthe pathway.

Location Plan

41

THE BUGGY STOPPlants :Being local ,the green roof doesNot requires special maintananceBecause plants are adapted to the local Rainfall frequency and temperatures..Ausichothorius plants provide food andhabitat to birds.

The structure :Matelic with interiorpipes for water drainage.

The base :Cement coated with rubber,made From recycled tires.This serves as Foundation,allowing a easy installationWhile making-easier access to buggy cars.

The roof :The recycable reinforced plasticRoof supports a 10cm layer of soil Along its entire surface and has aDeeper area where you can placeLarger plants.
