IDG was honored to attend yesterday’s ground breaking for DR Horton’s newest office in Central Florida. Our firm provided landscape architecture, hardscape, irrigation and signage design for their West Orlando office headquarters. DR Horton is America’s largest home builder with over one million homes built since their creation in 1978. #InnovationsDesignGroup #IDG #DRHorton #LandscapeDesignArchitects #LDA #Orlando #Florida #GroundBreaking

We, at IDG, utilize computer-generated visuals to help owners vividly visualize their conceptual designs, allowing them to immerse themselves in and experience their projects firsthand. This approach helps owners make more informed decisions, resulting in unique and thoughtfully designed spaces, ultimately leading to a quicker design process.

We are actively #hiring! Know anyone who might be interested?

IDG is proud to have worked with such a great team on the project. Its fantastic seeing the project built. Great job to all!

Did you know that incorporating well-placed trees on your property can significantly reduce heat?  5 ways trees keep us cool: 1 - SHADING: Trees provide direct shade, which can lower surface and ambient temperatures. By shading buildings, walkways, parking lots, and outdoor seating areas, trees reduce the heat absorbed by these surfaces by as much as 20-45 degrees F, which in turn reduces the heat radiated into the environment. 2 - HEAT ISLAND MITIGATION: Urban heat islands occur when natural land cover is replaced with dense concentrations of pavement, buildings, and other surfaces that absorb and retain heat. Trees help mitigate heat islands by shading these surfaces and providing cooling through evapotranspiration, thus reducing overall temperatures. 3 - THERMAL MASS EFFECT: Trees, particularly large ones, can serve as thermal masses that absorb and slowly release heat, moderating temperature fluctuations. This can help maintain cooler temperatures during the day and reduce the intensity of heat waves. 4 - ENERGY EFFICIENCY: Shading by trees can reduce the cooling load on buildings, decreasing the need for air conditioning. This not only reduces energy consumption but also lowers the emission of heat from air conditioning units, further contributing to a cooler environment. 5 - REFLECTIVE COOLING: Trees with broad leaves can reflect a portion of incoming solar radiation, preventing it from reaching the ground and heating up surfaces. This reflective cooling effect contributes to the overall reduction of heat on the property. Planning ahead to implement the right trees and placement into your landscape design project can create a more comfortable and energy-efficient environment, benefiting both the property owner and the wider community.

🌀 With Hurricane Season lasting 6 months out of the year, it’s important to consider the resilience of our green friends when planning your project’s landscape design. 🌿 Here's a quick guide on trees that weather the storm and those that struggle: 🌴 HURRICANE HEROES: + Palm Trees: Very well-suited to withstand hurricane winds of up to 145 miles per hour due to their strength, flexibility, and ability to shed leaves. + Live Oaks: With their robust root systems, these giants stand strong against powerful winds. + Bald Cypress: Known for their ability to thrive in wet conditions, these trees are resilient to both wind and flooding. + Crape Myrtles: Their flexible branches help them bend rather than break during high winds. + Southern Magnolias: Despite their large leaves, they can withstand strong winds due to their sturdy branches. 🛑 HURRICANE HAZARDS: - Willows: Their shallow roots make them susceptible to being uprooted during storms. - Poplars: Fast-growing but weak-wooded, these trees often suffer extensive damage in hurricanes. - Pines: While some varieties are more resilient, many pine species have shallow roots and are prone to toppling in high winds. - Bradford Pear: Their branch structure is prone to splitting, making them vulnerable during storms. Remember, proper tree maintenance and strategic planting can help mitigate risk during hurricane season. We at IDG can provide your projects with beautiful landscapes that will weather the storm. . . #IDG #InnovationsDesignGroup #HurricaneSeason #LandscapeDesign #LandscapeArchitecture

Eid al-Adha Mubarak!  We would like to wish you and your loved ones a blessed and joyous Eid this weekend filled with gratitude, unity, and the spirit of sacrifice.
