Callander Associates worked with Dunmore
Homes in the development of this gated community in Elk Grove,
California. Callander Associates services included the complete
landscape design of this mixed product community. In addition
to two enhanced gated entries, three product model complexes,
and the typical production unit front yards and streetscape;
the Monterey Village landscape design incorporates several
walkable "paseos", a pool complex with central park,
and two smaller pocket parks. These additional public open
spaces were designed as a means of offsetting the limited
private space inherent to denser development.
The recently constructed model homes include a water conservation
landscape. Callander Associates worked with the developer
to use drought tolerant plant species, place minimal amounts
of turf grass, and use a conservation irrigation system. Additionally,
signage was designed to explain how the landscape used water
conservation practices.
