Reataing wall time lapse construction - 0 views

  •  
    This difficult project located in Windham was quite a job. Interstate Landscape started with the removal of an old deteriorating timber wall. The homeowner wanted to create more living space in their back yard so after the wall was removed we excavated back 8ft of the hillside and removed about 120 yards of fill. When we were excavating we ran into three large patches of ledge that had to be removed. We then jack hammered and removed the ledge making way for the preparation of the base of the new wall. Once the base was completed, construction of the segmental retaining wall began. In total 400 face feet of three and six inch Highland Stone Earth Blend was used to construct the wall. After the wall was completed, base prep and installation of 800 square feet of Genest Baxter and Acadia stone pavers were used to construct two patios and connecting walkways. A Genest Windsor Block fire pit with metal liner was also constructed in one of the patios. The patio and walkway areas were lined with 400 lineal feet of Rinox Belmont Border. To top the project off 900 square feet of sod from Tuckahoe Turf was installed. This was a tough and challenging job but we feel the end result looks great!

Cornell Ecotecture Web Center - External Considerations - 1 views

  • The building must be thought of as a part of the ecosystem in which it is to be built.  Design decisions must take into account the characteristics and needs of each component of this ecosystem and must not compromise the delicate balance of soil, air, water, vegetation, and animal life. 
  • One important factor that must be taken into consideration is the climate of the region.  This factor has implications for site orientation, passive solar heating, building insulation, glazing, lighting
  • and indoor air quality.

  • Decisions about the size and footprint of the building, the provision and location of the parking lot, and placement and composition of access roads should strive to minimize any further clearing of the surrounding vegetation.  The emission of harmful substances into the environment, both during and after construction, will also have deleterious effects on the landscape and wildlife, and must be considered during all phases of the project.
