We at Plan It Green Landscape Architecture,
are designers and land planners with a strong inclination toward
providing environmentally respectful plans and services. Here are
some of the ecological planning and design principles that we strive
for:
Conservation: Slow Down Material
Consumption. Land use and site planning which conserve and promote
diverse, healthy, native ecosystems.
Regeneration: Repair and Renew. Sustainable design
and development which recycles existing resources, minimizing environmental
impact.
Stewardship: Care of the Land and All Its Inhabitants.
Low-impact management of the land for the benefit of all its inhabitants.
Ecological Design Goals
- Minimize destructive environmental impact
- Ensure the design: respects species diversity, minimizes resource
depletion, preserves water cycle and maintains habitat quality
- Respond to the particulars of place: soils, vegetation, animals,
climate, topo, water
We can provide Design with some of the following
elements:
- Local water infiltration, bio-swales
- Native plant material
- Local materials to minimize transportation costs and stay "local"
- Porous pavements, minimize impervious surfaces
- Lawn alternatives
- Low maintenance landscape design
- Recycle materials
- Use low tech materials
- Creative grading to minimize cut and fill and erosion
