Small and Rossell are involved in several sustainable building & LEED accredited projects. The landscape designs for these projects are aimed specifically towards more sustainable building techniques featuring "greener" design aspects such as:
Stormwater management (through green roofs, raingardens, pervious paving, rainwater harvesting)
Water efficient landscaping (low volume drip irrigation, drought tolerant & native plantings, water re-use)
Use of recycled & locally available materials
