Camden County Office of Economic Opportunity
City
of Camden, New Jersey
ADLER was retained by the Camden
County Office of Economic Opportunity (CCOEO) to provide
landscape architectural services for the development of a
sustainable landscaping design for
the Liberty Homes residential redevelopment project in
the City of Camden.
The project consisted of eleven (11) new single family
dwellings with off-street parking and private rear yards.
The objective of the landscape design was to
incorporate sustainable principles and measures into the
landscaping on the project.
The sustainable principles evaluated or incorporated
into the landscape design included the following:
·
Evaluation of sun/shade relationship on each of the proposed
lots and locating of trees to maximize the effects of
shade/sun during the various seasons.
·
Specification of a “low mow” grass that requires less
frequent mowing.
·
Low maintenance, drought resistant plant species.
·
Specifying of plant species that are also indigenous to the
area.
The project design was and construction was completed in 2002.
