Hewlett Packard, Roseville

Shade was considered the key to creating an attractive

outdoor landscape that Hewlett Packards employees

would actually use and enjoy. SWA focused on intro-

ducing landscape that would both provide luxuriant

shade and thrive despite the harsh soil and weather.

For the vast majority of the site, we sought not to con-

vert the sites natural grassland, but to re-establish it

wherever possible and to add a rich oak woodland. To

that end, we maintained a permeable ground plan by

providing localized and individual watering, as well as

a subdrain system to remove any excess water caused

by inherent soil permeability problems.
