Restaino Design Landscape Architecture, PC is committed to following practices of sustainable site design by offering low impact design alternatives to traditional site development. Our plans promote the use of local and sustainable materials. We seek opportunities in the planning process for site enhancement and create plans that specify indigenous plant species to encourage biodiversity.

Thousands of plugs of wetland grasses, sedges and herbaceous plants were installed in the constructed wetland. PICP Walks Shown in Construction Allow Stormwater to Percolate through an underlying Gravel Layer and into the Soil. Restaino Design was instrumental in creating the site plan and landscape design for this ambitious green infrastructure project at the Bard College campus in New York's Hudson valley.

Combined sewer overflows or CSO's create water quality problems for rivers in older cities. Restaino Design assisted Ulster Co. DOE in developing this rain garden and subsequently designed bioretention areas and a PICP walk at the edge of the adjoining county parking lot. Both projects enhance urban spaces while addressing stormwater issues.
