Overall less maintenance No mowing!-Stewardship - -Monitoring – local neighbor monitors wildlife, local agencies are considering adding WQ monitoring
Unforeseen results of the project: -Residents monitor marsh -Doctors break room overlooks marsh
-order plant early - coordinate the natives plant ahead of time to eliminate substitutions-plan for invasive - plan for deer control ahead of time-do invasive species control prior to any disturbance for example phragmites-exclusion fences need maintenance too!-construction schedule - coordinating in grading and planting crews change in construction crew between the grading and the landscape crew lost sometime on the planting of seeding. -material review - attention to detail on the materials for example the coir fiber matting should be all natural fiber.-contractor experience - will usually look at the grading plans for installation but not at the cross sections or profiles-Aesthetics work - should include patching and painting work as aesthetics
