This project encompassed a number of elements to improve the water quality of storm water runoff into environmentally sensitive Mission Creek, including replacement of the entire parking lot with varied types of permeable paving, construction of new bioswales, landscaping with native flora, reforestation with over 80 oak trees & educational signage. The Client intends to make this a demonstration project, integrating environmental concerns into practical situations. A large professional team was assembled for this project including renowned landscape architect Isabelle Greene & Associates, along with a number of professional engineering firms.
I have the highest regard for Stonemark. Their processes are sophisticated and their experience diverse. I can rely on them to enlighten me to any efficiency that will add value, and ensure the smooth course of the project. Particularly, I respect and admire Bart Mendel who is the guiding compass for the firm. Their project management complementing my artistry creates the perfect partnership for a successful project.
