A retaining wall provides a flat area for a parking pad while still allowing a storm water drainage swale along the base of the wall. Wet tolerant plant species were selected within the swale such as Dwarf Artic Blue Leaf Willow and clump River Birch. Furthermore, Flamegrass was placed between the top of the retaining wall and the parking pad to serve as a visual que to visitors to prevent driving over the edge of the pavement. As an added advantage, the Flamegrass visually buffers the garage doors. |
