The landscape design for Lake Place Senior Living emphasizes year-round interest, durability, and ecological responsiveness. To create a vibrant environment for residents, our team carefully selected a mix of deciduous, ornamental, and evergreen species, including Autumn Gold Ginkgo, Prairie Fire Crabapple, and Black Hills Spruce. This diverse selection provides strong structural elements and beautiful seasonal variation throughout the year.
At the pedestrian scale, the design incorporates groundcover, perennials, and grasses such as Karl Foerster Grass and Stella Supreme Daylily to add texture and a sense of warmth. These plantings are arranged to enhance the walking experience while maintaining a sophisticated and welcoming aesthetic. To ensure the landscape thrives with minimal intervention, the site features a fully programmable irrigation system and deeply mulched planting beds.
By balancing aesthetic variety with a focus on longevity and low-maintenance performance, we delivered a landscape that supports the specific needs of a senior living community. The final design serves as a resilient and peaceful natural retreat that complements the architectural integrity of the development while remaining mindful of long-term site management.
