From this picture I can make out about one species that seems to be successful, grass.  I wish we could have budgeted for a localized vegetation inventory, or even additional site visits.  Unfortunately however, this picture + google earth are the extent of my resources.

The american dream that has been ingrained in much of our population is centered around the suburbian one-acre lot. It doesn’t seem like such a bad thing. Infact, who wouldn’t want to be a landowner with their own plot of land. The problem is that evidence has shown how damaging sprawl can be to the environment. The fact is,…[Read more]

But this, as said before, will concentrate the flow and then you have to look at putting in rip rap or some other energy dissipation device, which may not be attractive. A depressed curb, will allow sheet flow and still maintain edging for pavement. On parking spaces…[Read more]

good luck.

However, at this height a modular block wall would probably need some sort of geo-grid reinforcing, and that could effect what is placed behing the wall. Otherwise, a cast-in-place wall with a decorative veneer could work with vines as well.

The most common excuses I hear seem to deal with the strength of the product in heavy duty applications. That being said, people have also complained about the maintenance, freeze thaw, and even high-heels getting stuck in the surface…[Read more]

However, there is a chance under the “innovation in design” credits that you could make a case to get extra point(s).
