Hello friends, Last week Oaklandside published an article ART GARDEN DESIGN has been collaborating with for over year. Now, we are the selected landscape construction firm contracted to install this West Oakland project which has been a dream for over 10 years. Click here to read the full article.
Some excerpts from the article:
“Art Garden Design, the landscape designer that will oversee the planting, will, for the next few weeks, remove old trees, upgrade irrigation, and regrade the site. In March, workers will start planting trees. The project is expected to be completed within five months. “
“According to Alana Corpuz, the owner of Art Garden Design, Frontage Road is an example of broken infrastructure caused by neglected maintenance. All kinds of activities nearby cause air pollution.
“There’s waste management on 10th Street nearby, a skate park, trash, and people burning metals and there’s so much else happening, but the goal is to create a tree buffer with depth that reduces off-gassing for the community,” she said.
Hyphae Design, an ecology firm in Oakland, designed the tree planting project with foliage from the ground up so that it creates a canopy of leaves and branches where a good amount of pollution gets stuck or drifts up into the atmosphere without coming back down into neighborhoods. The tree species that will be added include Pines, Yellowwoods, and Manzanitas, Oaks, and the shrub species will include California lilacs, manzanitas, and bottlebrushes.”
