Land Restoration

Our work illustrates attention to watershed improvements and the restoration of native landscapes. We can come in at any stage of a project to provide planning and design services for successful erosion and sediment control, soil stabilization, and appropriate plantings to restore damaged lands.

The company can also implement its own or other’s designs for healing the land and water courses.

See our essays below about the different aspects of land restoration.

Kachina Hills Watershed Restoration

 

In developing Kachina Hills, we shaped 13 acres of eroded and margial land into a verdant landscape with a diverse palette of trees, grasses, and native flowers and shrubs.  The key to the ecology we have fostered is control of the water which falls on the land, and on the homes and roads. The photographs illustrate how our work has regenerated the vegetation and ecology.

 Follow the Water

Kachina Heights Arroyo Restoration

In Kachina Heigths we crossed the Arroyo Ancha to access our building sites. Working with our Engineers and Hydrologists, we designed the box culverts to carry the road across the arroyo, and large stone plunge pools to suggest a better path for the water, and to dissapate the energy of the stormwater as it moves downstream.

Detention Ponds

Detention ponds can hold large volumes of water to prevent flooding downstream. Releasing the water slowly after the pond fills permits a full watering of semi riparian plantings, including grasses, willows, cottonwood trees and other drought tolerant species. These plantings flourish, even in times of drought, using the residual moisture stored in the soils of the pond.
