Neighborhood green space

GALA_silver_web

A nearby homeowner purchased an undeveloped 2.8-acre lot to avoid overcrowding in the neighborhood, but the space was overgrown. We removed non-native, invasive plant species. Clearing and grading were completed and trails were installed.

The land now serves as a park-like green space for the entire neighborhood with an orchard, wandering trails, decorative stone and concrete bridges, steps (planted with Sea Pink Thrift to help avoid erosion) and meadows galore.
