The Right Way To Do It
Responding to the importance of the landscape in a project, the implementation concepts result from a detailed process, incorporating the following steps:
CULTURAL LANDSCAPE ASSESSMENT
The cultural landscape assessment analyzes and documents a variety of factors, including period of significance, overall landscape site integrity, incompatible features, and character defining features.The assessment process, the initial step in preparing a landscape design concept, characterizes a site in terms of cultural landscape values which will give the site its own character and be the base for any future improvements.

SITE LANDSCAPE ASSESSMENT
The site landscape assessment analyzes and documents the extant physical site, including current and desired uses and patterns of activities.The Site Landscape Assessment determines if the overall site integrity is reflected in the site's ability to convey its significance.

PRELIMINARY STRATEGIES OF TREATMENT
Based on the information gained in the cultural landscape and site landscape assessment, landscape treatment strategies define the design approach and long-term management of the cultural landscape. Standard treatments include preservation, rehabilitation, restoration and construction:
Based on the information gained in the cultural landscape and site landscape assessment, landscape treatment strategies define the design approach and long-term management of the cultural landscape. Standard treatments include preservation, rehabilitation, restoration and construction:
| • | Preservation is defined as the act or process of applying measures necessary to sustain the existing form, integrity, and materials of a property. Work, including preliminary measures to protect and stabilize the property, generally focuses upon the ongoing maintenance and repair of valuable centerpoints rather than extensive replacement and new construction all over the site. |
| • | Rehabilitation defined as the act or process of making possible a compatible use of a property through repair, alteration, and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its historical, cultural, or architectural values. |
| • | Restoration defined as the act or process of accurately depicting the form, features, and character of a property as it appeared at a particular period of time by means of the removal of features from other periods in its history and reconstruction of missing features from the restoration period. The limited and sensitive upgrading of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems and other code-required work to make properties functional is appropriate within a restoration project. |
| • | Construction defined as the act or process of depicting, by means of new construction, the form, feature, and detailing of a non-surviving or non-existing site, landscape, building, structure, or object. |
ILLUSTRATIVE DESIGN CONCEPT
Based on the treatment strategies, the design concept illustrates the proposed landscape design. The concept determines if the overall site integrity is is reflected in the site's ability to convey its significance. Landscape features must be incorporated within the design in a way as to interpret the site as a whole. These features should be analysed for land patterns and existing surrounding structures, topography, view and vistas, vegetation, circulation, water features, structures, furnishings and objects, and environmental considerations.

IMPLEMENTATION
Subsequent to the overall planning process, the development of implementation funding is an essential consideration for the Client. The importance of planning and coordinated implementation cannot be underestimated.
