Project Description
Village in the Park is a development of townhomes set in the saddle of San Bruno Mountain, in Daly City. The original design theme was a park-like setting exemplified by acres of manicured lawn, with bordering shrubs. As the landscape has aged, the homeowners are faced with ever-increasing maintenance costs to keep the landscape looking good.
As the Board became more conscious of the need to conserve resources, they have engaged us to re-imagine their landscape with a desire for greater integration with the abutting San Bruno Mountain Preserve, and much greater sustainability, in water conservation, and reduction of the maintenance of the landscape.
The landscape rehabilitation will be phased over several years, with the most water intensive areas being first priority. This provides the following advantages – spreading the cost over time; fine-tuning the plant material for that specific micro-climate, and the ability to respond to changing needs of the homeowners.
