The Contractor began by assembling a skeletal metal frame, then adding the rack system panels fit for the containers, on top of the frame.

Scaffolding and ladders were brought into the 1,500 square foot structure through double doors and crews affixed each plant in its container individually.

The Dianthus used were grown in their containers, specifically for the Cane Island living wall project.

The end result is a landscape feature that has become an iconic part of the new development’s charm and appeal, for the hundreds of potential residents visiting the Sales Center each week.

The conservatory is host to private and special events in the evenings, like the recent resident wine tasting hosted by the Amenity Village staff.

Outside the conservatory, the Contractor installed crushed granite around these large planters which they also constructed. Decorative bike racks add a sculptural detail to the Amenity Village exterior.

The planters are connected to the Amenity Village’s irrigation system. Drip lines were installed inside each planter box.

The planters are now part of yet another unique and unexpected feature of the Amenity Village; a community discovery garden. They include plantings of local vegetables.

Specially selected flower planters were placed along crushed granite paths, all installed by the Contractor’s staff.

The Amenity Village encircles a community lawn, which will be host for events, concerts, and festivals throughout the year.

This wall-covering planting surrounds a patch of synthetic turf, also installed by the Contractor. It is directly adjacent to the glass-walled community yoga studio.

Colorful perennials complement the wood and stone of the Amenity Village’s paths between buildings and pool areas.

Large boulders were brought in to highlight the area’s xeriscape features, a design selection that is very unique among Houston-area master planned communities.
