Nativescaping
September 4th, 2008
Luxury homebuilder, Beacon Homes, is preserving trees and nativescaping in its newest neighborhood, Lady Apple in Tigard. The site had many western red cedar, oak, hawthorn, big leaf maple, douglas firs and red alder native trees. Arborists, local landscapers and tree preservation experts aided in saving over 50 mature trees, plus Beacon was able to plant over 7,000 natives such as currants, Oregon grapes, alders, douglas fir and three kinds of native roses in the neighborhood.
“The beauty of the site was clearly the trees and native plants. Our team did an outstanding job of preparing the site and the result is a really beautiful neighborhood. The buyers have certianly pointed out the trees, plants and landscaping of the site as one of the main reasons for deciding to live there,” said Kurt Dalbey, chief executive officer.
