Landscape Conceptual Design

 VIEW PRESERVATION CONCEPT;

Quincea will be placing the various Native Species of Sonoran Low Desert plants within the height restriction of 3 degrees above natural grade. The tops of the plantings will be height maintained as a measure to preserve Neighboring homes views of Papago Park Buttes.

VARIABLE HEIGHT LANDSCAPE SCREENING:
The sight line of the Papago Buttes are visible betwen existing site vegetation and over +5'foot tall fences(typ).

New Vegetation will be placed to screen buildings, while remaining heights no greater than 3 degrees sight line slope from natural grade at home properties 

WILDLIFE CORRIDOR AND LANDSCAPE BUFFER CONCEPT:

A Wild Life Corridor preserves the neighbors current visual access to animals Native to the Papago Butte Foothills. The minimum width of the sandscape screening, buffer will be 120' feet. The majority of the vegetated area exceeds 160' feet in width behind the adjacent neighboring homes.

• The greenhouses are adjusted in height to integrate with the desert habitat. Ridge line of greenhouse, nearest to homes, is at +10' feet. When heat vents are opened, greenhouse height increase by 1' foot, measuring at +11' feet.

The wildlife will have a greater incidence of survival and propogation if soil moisture is increased by slowing the rainwater sheet-flow with 1'foot depressed retention circles.

• Circular geometry has been proposed for center point harvesting of rainwater. The slight slope of the circular depression sends sheet-flow to a Mesquite shade tree. Native Creosotes and Sage hold water at their bases, developing food sources and refuge from desert heat.

WILDLIFE PRESERVATION:

A large variety of animals inhabit the Papage Foothills. The following animals are typically seen in the vicinity and on site.
