Storm Water Management: Delineated existing stream flows and designed around existing drainage. Used permeable materials. Sensitive Areas: Sensitive areas were identified on plan and avoided during construction. These areas became site amenities, which added value. Roadways followed the natural contours of the land to avoid impacting significant vegetation. Woodlands Edge Little Rock, AR

Recycled Materials: Trees cleared from roadways were harvested and used for mulch, trail surfacing, covering construction scars, erosion control and landscaping. 12” thick layer of mulch absorbed the weight of heavy equipment preventing soil compaction. Innovative Practices: Incorporated mixed use, community gardens and shared driveways/parking areas. Minimized street widths. Hardscape was shaded and comprised of light- colored, permeable materials. Provided mass transit access.

Soil Disturbance: Used retaining walls to reduce cut and fill and erosion and save vegetation. Stabilized disturbed areas quickly. Trees and Vegetation: Used tree wells and retaining wells to preserve existing trees impacted by construction. Aeration systems allowed the roots to breathe, keeping trees alive.
