Here at Gelson's Market in Century City, we wanted to bring some green to the entrance which really seemed to be a concrete jungle. We went with some modern flower boxes and drought friendly succulents to really change things up. Siapin Horticulture is well known for landscape design and construction even in a downtown "concrete jungle" habitat. Chapman plaza located in Koreatown is a Los Angeles landmark. Dan and the Siapin Horticulture crew stepped up to the plate to facelift the historic property without taking the history out of this now bustling little plaza that is home to a dozen cool eateries including the Quarters Korean BBQ. Siapin Horticulture installed new trellis on the back wall for the plant life to grow upwards as well as add some classic terracotta pots to the location. Check out the video and the photos below.
How Bioretention works: Do you remember the science class at the university when you made a water purification project at the end with a water bottle, fine sand, fine sand, pebbles, and a coffee filter? A Bioretention is almost the same concept with a few small details added. These shallow depressions in the landscape are designed to mimic the mechanisms of the removal of pollutants in our forest ecosystems that slow down and treat the outflow. Consisting of different elimination mechanisms, each with a specific role, the bioretention zone will intercept the water that flows out of your car park by slowing it down and capturing the various pollutants it has caused. Mechanisms such as a sand bed for filtration, absorption through vegetation, a shallow pond, soil particles, and mulch will help filter pollutants and distribute water evenly in the soil environment.
We installed all of those at the parking area across the street, surrounding the parking spots. We also worked on the walking area and added on decomposed walkways. Parking in this area and walking when you need a breather is now much more pleasant. The lack of water is a large problem here in California due to its severe drought causing the agriculture to diminish. To prevent this from happening, bioswales can tribute to a positive aspect of the environment. It is enjoyable for the workers who work at 2600 to experience our growth in making nature flourish. |
