Hardscape vs. Greenscape

4% GREENSCAPE

Plantings and absorbant soil along Hudson Street

96% HARDSCAPE

Compacted soil and gravel, concrete sidewalks, and asphalt roadways comprise the vast majority of the 5.5 acre property.

While there are 100 trees and approx. 23% tree coverage in the summertime, the surface remains impervious and creates significant runoff toward the surrounding streets at a lower elevation.

With 77% open to the sky and almost entirely hardscape, the property contributes significantly to the overall heat island effect of the neighborhood.
