“Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better”

Albert Einstein

» » Using ribbons or swaths of naturalized plantings and grasses perpendicular to the right-of-way to create a progression of spaces as one travels along roads, multi-use paths or sidewalks.

» » Using mass naturalized plantings to establish a framework for defining formal spaces in key locations around buildings, limiting overall maintenance needs.

» » Using defined, formal spaces to highlight building entrances and programmed space in a way that sharply contrasts with the overall natural character.

» » Focusing on native plant species and plantings in informal clumps and clusters to enhance the informal feel of the landscape instead of evenly spaced plantings.

» » Planting informal fencerows and hedgerows where necessary to define spaces and shape or direct views.

» » Utilize existing fencerows and riparian corridors as a way to extend natural features into the design of a site.

The EAZ will provide a relaxing work environment where seeing the outdoors is an amenity.
