Award Winner

The utilitarian and bland look of the gray cinder block building was very unattractive and gave the building the appearance of a warehouse versus an office building.  The original landscape was comprised mainly of overgrown evergreens such as junipers, arborvitaes and pines. The clients wanted several primary objectives achieved via this landscape renovation.  Firstly, they wanted to create a buffer between their building and neighboring Highway 287.  The sound and view of the highway proved unappealing and disruptive and needed to be blocked from both an aesthetic and functional standpoint.  To overcome the shortcomings of the buildings’ cinder block façade a complete landscape renovation was necessary to add season long color and multi-dimensional texture.  Moreover, since many of client's customers visit the administrative offices it was imperative that the landscape not only be attractive but intriguing as well.  Green Earth designers would accomplish this via the following methods:  

1. Ground moving projects (i.e., berms, moss rock)

2. Mass perennial swaths that would attract butterflies and hummingbirds as well as complement the newly installed trees and shrub material (i.e., river birches, magnolias, bamboo, etc.)

3. Integration of garden art sculptures that would serve as key focal points in various garden areas

4. Annual displays via pots, urns and gardens to provide seasonal color

5. Themed garden displays to generate roadside impact
