Landscape Review 10/28/19
Inkberry is not a good choice for parking lot islands. Since it is an evergreen it is very susceptible to salt and winter desiccation
Unless provisions are made for structural soils or soil cells, the 2 elms in the sidewalk cutouts will have inadequate soil volume to thrive
Should specify continuous planting pits with planting soil in islands, bumpouts and greenbelts that are to be planted with trees
Due to the high number of shrubs and ornamental grasses this will be a high maintenance landscape. Should definitely plan on either contracting maintenance or increasing staffing and
budgets to provide for maintenance.
