Landscape Field Videos: Maintaining an Urban Landscape

 

Maintaining an Urban Landscape: Challenges and Solutions

This week, The Garden Continuum's Installation Staff was down in Providence, RI working on a commercial property. TGC designed and installed the landscape which includes dozens of shrubs and trees, multiple walkways and sitting areas, and large perennial and annual beds. Since this property houses many businesses and hundreds of cars and people, we are presented with a variety of landscape challenges. Below, we highlight a few of the challenges we face when maintaining a landscape in an urban environment. Perhaps you face some of these challenges on your own property. If you are interested in seeing more images of the property, check them out below the video.

Another great video, guys. And many valid and helpful points that we too run into all the time. That is why it is important to design with these issues in mind. We grow the trees we install and my friend the nurseryman always frowns when he sees tree getting hacked out of shape for mis-siting.

thanks Donna! It's always a struggle with trees and confined space. You're right, design is EVERYTHING!
