Each <br />will be designed and implemented in accordance with not just the landscape, <br />tree protection and other regulatory and environmental requirements of the <br />City, County and applicable state and federal agencies, but with a "best <br />practice" approach that emphasizes cost - effective design, ease of <br />constructability and maintenance, and environmental sustainability. <br />Appropriate and thoughtful plant species selection, xeriscape principles of <br />landscape and irrigation design, a conscientious approach to the <br />environmental impact of materials selection, and utilizing the latest <br />information on trends in the nursery and construction industry are all key <br />elements of this approach. <br />We recognize that each project is unique; we do not believe in or provide any <br />boilerplate solutions. Further, we recognize that City staff are key players of <br />the team in any City project, and we look forward to an effective and <br />rewarding collaboration with your in house managers and design <br />professionals. Finally, we will approach each assignment with a keen interest <br />in the community's expressed desires for the project. We will work with City <br />staff to effectively solicit, respond to, and incorporate public input, as <br />EDAW INC DESIGN, PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTS WORLDWIDE <br />
