Design Review

Ten categories you can design for.

The soil chemistry a site needs to perform, whether the goal is establishment, stabilization, or handing back ground that works.

Designs can include soil correction and amendment programs, pH and lime correction, calcium and magnesium corrections, micronutrient packages, carbon inputs, salt and sodium management, topsoil and growing-medium specs, and amendment programs for disturbed or imported ground.

The living side of the soil, built to bring disturbed and reworked ground back to function.

Designs can include microbial inoculants, compost and compost extracts, brewed biological teas, mycorrhizal and root-zone inoculants, biological soil primers, carbon and food sources for biology, and organic matter integration for restored ground.

Everything fixed in place, the core of what this sector builds.

Designs can include water systems and piping, filtration and treatment systems, tanks and storage, wells and pump systems, stormwater and drainage systems, retention and detention, water control and conveyance, erosion-control structures, permeable and pervious surfaces, foundations and subgrade prep, retaining walls and hardscape, roads and access, buildings and facilities, envelope and insulation, ventilation and air systems, building materials and finishes, and lighting.

The mobile side: what runs on the site.

Designs can include site and grading equipment, low-disturbance ground tools, seed drills and hydroseeding equipment, sprayers and applicators, spreaders, compaction and stabilization equipment, water and dust-control equipment, and the tools and attachments that run with them. Where equipment does not exist for what the site needs, we can design and build it.

What goes in the ground, matched to what the ground can carry and what the site requires.

Designs can include revegetation and reclamation mixes, erosion-control and slope-stabilizing species, native and restoration species, cover crops for disturbed ground, hydroseed mixes, landscape and amenity plantings, buffer and screening species, seed treatments and inoculants, and blends built for the site's soils.

Where a site has to account for what lives on it.

Designs can include protected-species accommodation, habitat and corridor planning, exclusion and access design, pollinator and habitat plantings, and grazing where a site uses it for management.

The control side: what you apply to hold a site and its plantings.

Designs can include herbicide programs, invasive and weed control on disturbed ground, insecticide programs, fungicide programs, termite and structural pest control, and resistance management across the program.

The work that goes beyond the standard nine.

Designs can include work at scale (large parcels, phased developments, multi-site), specialized requirements (permit, code, geotechnical, or engineering specs), and problems that need research and invention rather than selection: custom builds, one-off solutions, and work where nothing off the shelf fits the site.

What your team needs to know to run and maintain what we build.

Designs can include crew and contractor training materials, reference guides for the systems we built, maintenance and operation documentation, spec and standard reference tools, visual and step-by-step documentation, and self-directed learning packages for sites that run without us on hand.

How the site gets run and maintained once it's built.

Designs can include operating and maintenance plans, standard operating procedures, contractor and trade specs, roles and responsibility structure, recordkeeping and documentation systems, inspection and compliance tracking, and integration of the whole build into how the project already runs.

 

Choose How We Design


 Every module can be designed in one of three ways:

A list. What to buy, what to use, what to run, chosen for your site. You take it from there.

This is for the team that has the equipment, the hands, and the know-how, and just needs to stop guessing.

The build, engineered for our crew to deploy for you.

Products, rates, placement, sequencing, and timing, designed for your site and written for our team and our subcontractors to put in. This is the build we work from in the deploy stage.

The build, engineered to leave our hands.

The same build, written to stand entirely on its own so you can deploy it however you choose: your own crew, your own contractors, or yourself.
