Wood, stone, vegetation, earth, metal, brick, concrete, asphalt, glass, textiles, plastic… We position these elements and install them within a site to create spaces, surfaces, seating, shade, screening, walls, water, containers, railings, visual interest, lighting, and art. And each of these has nearly endless options for color, material, finish, size, hardware, assembly, and source. No matter the material, each has its own life-cycle.

The idea is to close the loop on as many material life-cycles as possible, minimizing extraction of virgin resources and adding to landfills. As many options there are for materials, there are just as many sustainable alternatives and techniques available.
