Pre-Development

We handle all interactions with local government officials and the planning commission overseeing your landscape construction project. Before finalizing designs, we ensure the project aligns with the city’s broader plans, zoning, and development regulations. This process often involves extensive documentation and discussions to clear any potential hurdles and pave the way for a successful project.

Landscapes that positively impact the community are more likely to gain approval. To help decision-makers visualize your vision, we provide detailed drawings and documentation that explain the materials, design, and benefits to the local area. In some cases, engaging with local residents may be necessary to address potential concerns and prevent objections.

Introducing new amenities requires careful consideration of both pedestrian and vehicular traffic—during construction and after completion. We also assess the potential impact on public and private utilities, safety concerns, parking needs, trash removal, recycling, and restroom facilities to ensure seamless integration into the community.

Water conservation, drainage, and environmental sustainability are critical factors in many communities. We also consider the impact on local flora and fauna, both from the installation and the ongoing maintenance. For sites with historical, religious, or archaeological significance, additional care and approvals may be required.

For large-scale projects with significant community impact, local authorities may require the involvement of professional landscape development companies with specialized expertise, such as hardscaping. Sunny Stripe's network of landscaping experts is fully equipped to meet these demands and ensure the project’s success.

Before granting approval, local authorities will verify that the project is financially viable. They will assess whether adequate funding is in place and whether the company has a proven track record in landscape construction management. Additionally, they will evaluate whether any costs to the city will be reimbursed and if the project presents ongoing revenue-generating opportunities.
