Located just off the 101 and Vineyard Drive, this drive-through coffee shop comes with a full landscape element! Designed by Jim Burrows Landscape Architecture, the plan includes an array of hardy grasses and flowing shrubs appropriate for a commercial landscape installation in the California Central Coast.
Located in San Luis Obispo’s vibrant downtown, this boutique hotel features contemporary landscapes with outdoor terraces and gardens. The four-level, 78-room property is nestled between historic downtown buildings and the roof-top lounge offers view of the inland hills. The selection and sourcing of specimen trees and other plants including a six-foot organ pipe cactus were closely coordinated during the early phases of design with Gensler Architects. This proactive approach proved beneficial when a 5,500-lb olive tree was craned in over four stories of building to set the tree to the precision of inches. The coordination of complex smart irrigation systems through hundreds of tons of concrete were regularly discussed with plumbing and electrical subcontractors.
Madrone Landscape was already on board when I came onto the team for the Hotel SLO project, but it was immediately evident that they were an invested part of the process. Daniel was on top of submittals, and he made sure there was complete team buy-in on plant selection and sourcing. During landscape installation, I was impressed with the quality of their work. We were stacking trades tightly to meet construction milestones, and I appreciated Madrone’s willingness to work around those other trades. I would recommend Madrone Landscape in a heartbeat.
A new cluster of restaurants, retail stores, and residences offers Paso Roble tourists and residents a walkable outdoor destination for food and shopping. The 16,000 SF commercial development features a unique mix of architectural design complimented by colorful landscaping, walking paths, and outdoor patio and seating.
During construction, lawn areas and the accompanying irrigation system were redesigned to respond to COVID pandemic protocols. The solution provides patio space for daily outdoor restaurant service.
The subsurface drip irrigation system is also an efficient way to water the area and reduce water use. Permeable pavers, trees, lawn and irrigation systems installed by Madrone tie into the water-wise community.
The low-maintenance commercial landscape for the ITek Wine facility in Paso Robles includes a vibrant selection of fool-proof natives and hardy selections. Designed by Casey Patterson and installed by Madrone Landscape, it adds a soft foundation for the modern industrial building facade.
