Natural stone gravity retaining walls were proposed throughout the site to save existing trees while using state-of-the-art tree saving techniques to oxygenate tree root systems. Introduced to the project during its schematic design phase, our team was immediately involved with numerous grading revisions to improve drainage patterns, while charged with preserving as many of the 1,100 surveyed existing on-site trees as possible. and baseball field projects as well as tennis and volleyball courts. A sustainable landscape solution was designed featuring yard areas of predominantly non-turf native plant materials, open space meadows, five rain gardens, and a significant woodland preservation and tree replacement program. CALYX Design Group has been a regional leader in outdoor athletic facility planning and. Project goals included developing an enduring natural landscape solution that would reduce long-term maintenance costs, reduce stormwater runoff, and increase groundwater infiltration.
