RESPONSIBILITY: Landscape Architecture

Barrio Planners Inc provided landscape and streetscape design services to support RBF’s street improvement plan. BPI was Lead Landscape Architect for this sustainable design. Our firm intensely researched and implemented products that would support a streetscape design sensitive to the environment. A Modular Bio-retention system was incorporated to filter storm water runoff. The landscape design had to support a low maintenance palate while withstanding heavy industrial traffic. The plant palate consisted of drought tolerant and native trees, shrubs, and ground covers to decrease irrigation demand and save water.
