projects
Golestan Elementary Playground & Outdoor Classroom
This playground project replaces 100% asphalt and uses all natural materials and moveable parts for a dynamic learning environment.
Arcada Entry Garden
This lawn replacement project included concrete pavers, gravel patio and mostly native low water garden planting that will offer color and interest all year.
Alexander Valley Wellness Center Courtyard Design
This visualization of the design for the courtyard bridges a proposed police station and the new Alexander Valley Wellness Center Courtyard. As a public space, it offers places for people to gather and relax as well as green spaces that treat runoff from the new development. With Stromberg Architecture
Irvine Low Water Garden
This lawn replacement reused broken concrete from the driveway and reduced this resident's water use significantly.
Oakland Fire Station Green Infrastructure Parking
The City of Oakland was required to implement a low impact development project and chose to rehabilitate the failing parking lot at their downtown fire station and dispatch office. Overcoming the challenge of creating a porous surface able to support the extreme weight of fire trucks, Megan and Engeo, redesigned the parking lot with porous pavers and a flow-through planter to treat all the stormwater runoff before it leaves the site.
Boeing Biofilter at Santa Susana
This biofilter project at the former Boeing Santa Susana Laboratory site received a 2013 award for Outstanding Stormwater BMP Implementation Project from the California Stormwater Quality Association. The project is designed to harness natural processes to treat stormwater runoff while promoting habitats that encourage pollination. The system uses plants, soils, and filter media to capture sediment and pollutants before releasing cleaner water back into the watershed. The biofilter also serves as an educational tool for students and the community, as its surrounding ADA-compliant walking paths are lined with educational signage and benches where visitors can observe its top layer of native vegetation.
Bixby Marsh
Bixby Marsh Park wetland and native plant interpretive trail in Carson, California. Megan contributed to the planting plans for this public educational park and stormwater treatment wetland.
Fairfax Residence Water Conserving Garden
This garden design includes a custom wood and stone bench and low water use plants including succulents, a native plant meadow, and a raised veggie bed.
Creekside Marsh Restoration
The Creekside Marsh near Hal Brown Park is home to the salt marsh harvest mouse and clapper rail. Historic fill areas have left behind bare areas with soils that are too compact for vegetation to grow. Megan is leading the design and construction document preparation to restore 1.42 acres of tidal marsh that currently don’t support marsh vegetation because of gravel or high salinity.
Hidden Hills Bioswale
Stormwater runoff is treated in constructed wetland that runs between the road and a new trail.
Loch Lomond Wetland Restoration
Loch Lomond tidal wetland restoration project in San Rafael, CA
San Anselmo Stormwater Control Plan
Stormwater Control Plan for a significant remodel project in San Anselmo included a biofilter basin and green roof.
