Delineator - Landscape Architecture

Celebrating 2024 Achievements:

Cottonwood Creek Sustainable Vision Plan received a Merit Award in Analysis and Planning by both Texas and Virginia Chapters of the American Society of Landscape Architects in 2024.

The planning site was formerly unattractive to developers due to a flood plain and protected wetlands crossing through the site. The team, however, saw this as a potential valuable asset that could be utilized as a connected restored native landscape infrastructure for drainage and “front door” open space to development.

The two sites lie in different Municipalities, but can be connected by a proposed Open Space trail in the Cottonwood Creek floodplain that the team identified closely with the City of Waco’s support. The team had a market study conducted to assist in generation of the vision’s future land use.

The vision plans water goals are to use 100% greywater reuse for non-potable needs, 100% blackwater treatment and reuse for agriculture and landscape. To minimize potable water use through technology and to export treated water through EcoHub for irrigation and non-potable uses.
