PARKING • Also known as car lot is a cleared area that

is more or less level and is intended for parking vehicles.

• The area that has been provided with a durable or semi-durable surface.

• Needs fairly large spaces around 25 sq.m.(270sq.ft.) times the number of spaces.

• Need more large area than corresponding buildings,offices,shops, if most employees and visitors arrive by car.

• Material used for parking is brick, pervious concrete, stone, paving blocks or tire-tread woven mats.

• These materials are allow to soak rain water into the ground through the spaces inherent in the parking lot surface.

FEATURES

After installation it does not need to be watered Synthetic lawns create less dust and they do not produce problems such as mud, rocks It does not require maintenance

grass can also heat up faster and retain more heat in the summer months, making it harder to use

DISADVANTAGES

Friction between skin and artificial turf causes abrasions


ZOYSIA: Zoysia are found in coastal areas or grasslands

BENTGRASS: Bents are commonly used for lawn grass. This is

a desirable grass for golf course tees, fairways and greens.

Types of grass to be used in sports complex

Kentucky Bluegrass:

It is used for making lawns in parks and gardens and is common in cool moist climates like the

northeastern United States

Bermuda Grass:

It is widely cultivated in warm climates all over the world and it is also found that it has antimicrobial and antiviral properties.

Using Shrubs as a tool for landscaping


Garden/ Play area


GOLF COURSE

•A specialty of landscape design, golf course architecture is its own field of study. •A successful design is as visually pleasing as it is playable. •With golf being an outdoor form of recreation, the strong designer is an adept student of natural landscaping, understanding the aesthetic cohesion of vegetation, water bodies, paths, grasses, stonework and woodwork, among other things. •While golf courses often follow the original landscape, some modification is unavoidable. This is increasingly the case as new courses are more likely to be sited on less optimal land.

Multi Purpose pool/ Water body

•From quiet still shallow ponds to the active spray jets in a formal pool, water can provide just the right element for the many moods of a landscaped space. Because of the wide range of options that are available, adding a water feature can be accomplished for even the smallest of garden areas. •Because of the fluid nature of water, water gardens can be of any size, shape, or depth. Since the construction methods, materials, and costs differ considerably for large ponds versus small water gardens hence proving to be a very important tool in landscaping.


Green Roofs •A green roof is a roof of a building that is partially or completely covered with vegetation and a growing medium, planted over a waterproofing membrane. • It may also include additional layers such as a root barrier and drainage and irrigation systems..


•Reduce heating (by adding mass and thermal resistance value) •Reduce cooling (by evaporative cooling) loads on a building by fifty to ninety percent •Reduce stormwater run off . •Filter pollutants and carbon dioxide out of the air which helps lower disease rates such as asthma. •Filter pollutants and heavy metals out of rainwater •Help to insulate a building for sound..
