| Arapahoe County, CO
Prairie Waters provides a new source of potable water to the City of Aurora that has initiated improvements to infrastructure throughout the City. Parks & Gardens has been involved in the development of a number of projects that treat, store and deliver water to residents. Pump stations within the Aurora Reservoir campus and within neighborhood developments are sensitively sited to minimize their impact.
The Arapahoe County Eastern Service Center (ACESC) is a state-of-the-art facility centrally located in the county. The Planting Plan generated by Parks & Gardens mitigates the visual impact of the facility paving from specific views from adjacent roads. Taking cues from the surrounding landscape, the site plan and planting design adapted an agricultural model, which dictates that localized plantings relate to the facility and create microclimates.
