Overview

This residential design and management plan uses native plantings, local and sustainable materials, and high-performance organic management. An upcycled rain barrel and recycled dripline passively irrigate the garden beds with collected rainwater, with pressure adjusted through barrel volume and gravity to effectively reach all plant roots. Existing boxwoods were transplanted from their prior row planting, creating unity and hierarchical structure throughout the yard. Locally cultivated and native plants, including Aster, Bluestem, and Goldenrod, were planted in a matrix-based style. Finally, a locally cultivated and native Downy Serviceberry was planted to create a focal point in the yard.

The management plan for this landscape design incorporates a proprietary blend of locally sourced, carbon-negative organic inputs that improve plant fertility and enhance the design’s ecosystem service potential, including carbon storage and sequestration capacity.
