GENERAL PROJECT NOTES

Design objectives

  • Reduce footprint of hard surfaces in the DPA.
    • Smaller back patio (existing = 77m2, proposed = 48m2)
    • Floating boardwalk / staircase down to deck
    • Small reduction surface deck (existing = 34m2, proposed = 31m2)
    • Taking out all non-permeable asphalt in front yard and install driveway existing of water permeable grass-turf pavement.
  • Besides the concrete patio all surfaces are water permeable.
  • New retaining element will be Gabion-retaining walls resulting in a more ecological friendlier solution. Ecological friendly because of the cavities between the rock. The spaces between the rock serve as shelter for little animals, insects and plants.
  • All new elements to be constructed of non-toxic materials.
  • Clean up all rock surfaces. Taking out all exotic and non-native plants. Leaving only mosses, native ferns, grasses other native plants.
  • Eliminate all invasive plants in trees and along shoreline. English Ivy is the biggest problem on this property.
  • Introducing an assortment of native perennials and shrubs following the plant collection advised by Swell Environmental Consulting Ltd. Resulting in landscaping that connects to the local ecosystem.
