Material
Planting
Description
Planting encompasses living vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and ground covers integrated into architectural landscapes. It serves as a dynamic, biogenic material in civic landscapes, plazas, and public spaces, frequently paired with paving and stone.
Architectural uses
Used to define spatial boundaries, provide vertical screening, and soften hardscape elements in civic and public projects. Enhances microclimates and supports biodiversity in urban plazas and landscapes.
Carbon watchouts
Growing and transporting nursery stock incurs upfront embodied carbon, though mature planting sequesters CO2 over decades, offsetting initial impacts. Soil disturbance during installation can release stored carbon if not managed.
Specification cues
Select species based on local climate, soil conditions, and maintenance access; specify root barriers near paving to prevent upheaval. Coordinate irrigation and pruning schedules with hardscape tolerances for longevity.
