Master plans for several types of clients have been
developed to incorporate new projects into existing communities. These
projects also involved the planning and arrangement of various on-site
land uses.
The Campbell Collaborative incorporates innovative
design and regional plant material into a landscape design that is
functional as well as pleasing to the senses. Our design spectrum ranges
from arid desert or lush tropical to mountain region plant material and
from formal gardens to natural placement in design.
Recreational design includes several neighborhood
parks, which involve play areas, athletic fields, various sport courts,
exercise courses, picnic areas, informational centers and disc-golf
courses.
Hardscape design involves a variety of site
detailing. Such designs include water fountains, multi-level courtyards,
walls (screening, seating and retaining), planters, swimming pools and
spas, barbecue areas, ramadas, pedestrian bridges, and walk layouts.
Water features are designed and developed in-house
and include all phases from conceptual design through field observation.
Structural development, plumbing schematics, and hydrology calculations
complete the entire water feature development process.
Typical grading and drainage for projects may include
berming to screen views or to provide for relief in the landscape and
retention areas for retaining on-site water.
Irrigation systems are also designed and developed
in-house. The type of irrigation system (drip, flood or spray) to be
used is determined according to project demands. Each type of design
incorporates correct selection, sizing, and placement of equipment as
well as hydrology calculations.
Native plant studies and revegetation designs include
examining and determining which plants will have the best opportunity of
surviving relocation or preservation in their natural state and
preparing a plan for presentation to the City to pass Design Review
Board.
Landscape Green Building Concept
The Campbell Collaborative utilizes this concept in many of its designs. It strives to diminish the ‘heat island’, by properly selecting and placing plant material in such a way as to control the effect of the temperature or the environment on buildings and surrounding areas. The firm achieves water conservation by water harvesting, using rain sensors, moisture sensors, and drip irrigation, and by the selection of drought tolerant plant material, to name a few. Energy conservation is achieved by utilizing solar power for both the irrigation controller and a pump for the redistrbution system.
