Had a great time representing VDLA Landscape Architects at CMAA San Diego Chapter's First Golf Tournament last week. Few better ways to make new connections in the #AEC industry! Was a pleasure playing with Mitch Phillippe, Todd Beach, and Scott Reilly, CCM.
From concept to creation, our approach to park design ensures community needs and sustainability are at the forefront. Explore our latest project that features calisthenics equipment, running trails, and leisure areas, in addition to native plant species that thrive in the local climate. 🌳♻️ #ParkDesign #WaterEfficientDesign #LandscapeArchitecture #SustainableLandscaping

Exciting news for sustainability in California! AB-1572, effective January 1, 2024, mandates the use of reclaimed water for irrigating nonfunctional turf across commercial, municipal, and HOA residential landscapes. Are you ready to comply with AB-1572 but not sure where to begin? VDLA offers comprehensive assistance in turf replacement and irrigation solutions. Let's work together to conserve water! #TurfReplacement #WaterConservation #SustainableLiving
