Streetscape, Landscape, and Irrigation Design
Downtown streets are crucial public spaces that should be designed to improve the overall quality of life. These community assets can be the focal point of a thriving neighborhood or downtown area.
Implementing designs that are focused on the pedestrian experience, improving safety and promoting connectivity can encourage more walking and less driving while making people feel safer. Over time, an effective streetscape can attract quality development, which in turn raises property values and generates economic development opportunities.

The fundamental principle of roadway landscaping is to create an enjoyable driving experience while ensuring safety and ease of maintenance. Your project poses its own set of challenges such as limited space, water conservation, plant survival, utility conflicts, and traffic congestion. Our landscape approach emphasizes the use of plant material to establish a rhythm or theme throughout the roadway corridor. This can include varying tree heights, combining different plant species for textural interest, and strategically spacing plant material to create visually pleasing vehicular corridors. Our associates are committed to delivering professional designs while ensuring cost-effectiveness and sensitivity to the unique aesthetic and environmental conditions of your community
Water conservation is a key concern in landscape design and maintenance. Our associates at GRC provide professional irrigation design, integrated with innovative water management solutions and utilizing the latest technology in controllers, irrigation heads, micro-irrigation, and bubbler systems.
