With specialties including urban design, <br />redevelopment, entitlements, community planning, and recreation, our planners and <br />landscape architects deliver award-winning, practical, and sustainable design <br />solutions. <br />Redevelopment <br />As municipalities continue to grow, urban design, streetscape design, and <br />landscape architecture have become integral components of roadway and <br />transportation system designs and infrastructure improvements. Revitalizing <br />commercial districts, controlling traffic flows, and providing recreational areas <br />and pedestrian and bicycle facilities in increasingly congested areas are some of <br />the solutions designed by our engineers, landscape architects, and planners. <br />Known for our public involvement programs, workshop facilitation, and <br />consensus-building, we respond to the unique needs of each client–mindful of <br />the role effective planning and design plays in enabling stakeholders to establish <br />priorities. Working side-by-side with engineers, architects, and construction <br />professionals, we ensure the realization of our clients’ vision while solving the <br />challenges of each site. <br />Roadway Landscaping <br />The basic tenet of roadway landscaping is to provide an enjoyable <br />driving experience while recognizing the importance of safety and <br />maintenance. Kimley-Horn has designed many roadway landscapes and <br />each represents the challenges associated with limited space, water <br />conservation, plant survivability, utility conflicts, and traffic congestion. <br />Our landscape design approach is to use plant material in a manner <br />that creates a “rhythm” or “theme” for the roadway corridor. Varying tree <br />heights, combining different plant species for textural interest, and spacing <br />plant material are methods of creating aesthetically pleasing vehicular <br />corridors. Practical restrictions related to City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />standards for plant selection, application of Xeriscape principles, and <br />roadway design and road lighting will often dictate design. The effective <br />use and placement of vertical features including trees, signs, and light <br />poles will result in a landscape treatment that provides optimum safety, <br />pleasing aesthetics, and low maintenance. <br />Kimley-Horn’s goal is to turn our clients’ ideas into destinations where <br />memories are made. Our cross-functional teams of landscape architects, <br />engineers, and planners have provided comprehensive consulting services <br />for dozens of award-winning projects across the country. We know how <br />to maximize amenities while minimizing front-end and maintenance costs, <br />resulting in destinations that stand the test of time. <br />Bradenton Riverwalk <br />Midtown Miami <br />Palmetto Park Road, <br />Boca Raton, FL
