Integration of Native Planting
Planting Design for LEED Certification

Our Approach
GWD-C considers planting design as a critical, holistic, and living, breathing element in the landscape that helps connect people with nature. So, for us, planting design is much more than a decorative feature or afterthought in each of our projects.

Our planting designs can be formal or informal, and always work to include the integration of native plant species or cultivars of native origin. We also aim to develop landscape designs that promote a dependable sanctuary for native birds, butterflies, insects, and other wildlife. As a result, we are able to produce landscapes that generate an exciting biological diversity and a more economical maintenance routine—a win-win for our clients and the sensitive environment.

Some Examples of our Work
Our expertise allows us to work with a wide spectrum of design situations, from a formal landscape in a public urban settings to an residential estate garden to an enclosed corporate courtyard. Design features including pathways, sculpted landforms, arbors, water features, statuary, outdoor lighting, sculptural elements, butterfly and rock gardens, and pockets of splashy-colored native flowering plants may be incorporated as budgets and preferences dictate.
