The Big Challenge
• Runoff and water management associated with downspouts.
• Solution: Integrate a circular seating area into the space
• Utilize the footing for the seating space as a “dry well” for catching and managing water from downspouts.
Challenges
1) Soil Quality
2) Access to Hose Spigot
3) Restricted Planting space due to Sewer access
Solutions
1) Amend soil with addition of high quality compost or topsoil.
2) Bluestone Stepping Stones to allow access
3) Above ground planter to set on sewer access
