Consult the Genius of the Place in all — Alexander Pope

 

Restaino Design Landscape Architecture, PC is committed to following practices of sustainable site design by offering low impact design alternatives to traditional site development. Our plans promote the use of local and sustainable materials. We seek opportunities in the planning process for site enhancement and create plans that specify indigenous plant species to encourage biodiversity.

 

Beauty & Sustainability

Beauty and sustainability are central to our design approach. While applying sustainable, practical and cost effective strategies to site design, we equally emphasize the importance of creating elegant landscapes that are user oriented, and visually intriguing.

 

Low Impact Design & Green Infrastructure

Restaino Design offers low impact design alternatives and green infrastructure for stormwater management. We work on an ecosystems paradigm by specifying methods such as: rain gardens, bioretention, permeable paving, bioswales, constructed wetlands and streambank stabilization so that natural processes can infiltrate and purify water.

 

Native Plants & Biodiversity

Native plants are prominent in our designs and increase a project’s value by promoting
biodiversity, habitat for birds, pollinators and other wildlife as well as affording interest,
enjoyment and educational opportunities for people.
