This Cedar log was left on the side of the road to rot, we picked it up and using a chainsaw mill turned it into something useful. If you have a tree in your yard that has to come down but would like to see it become something more that firewood then give me a call and we can change your tree into an heirloom project instead of sending it to the landfill.

Sitting atop the newly exposed heartwood pine floors, both salvaged and new furniture made to look old by way of hand antiquing grace the master bedroom.

I grew up hiking in the ozark mountains of Missouri. This deciduous forest in winter shows leaves blanketing the earth. This is natural composting. Nutrients cycle from soil, through trees and return to the earth where decomposers make nutrients available once again. We can do this on our property on a smaller scale. This system makes landfills obsolete.

We removed the fence that divided the front entrance from the new back deck to open the landscape up and feel friendlier. After removing the concrete path that led to the front door, the client wanted to reuse the broken pieces to make a new a new path. To honor the new life of an old material, we call it "Urbanite" and get to feel good about keeping it out of the landfill.
In time, creeping thyme, filled the cracks and softened the approach to the front door.

After months of hard work, our Peggy Blue is reborn. The short brick wall with the house numbers was actually part of the demo from inside the house. We saved it from the landfill by setting it in the front yard.

Saved from landfill and extinction.

The Dallas Urban Reserve by Kevin Sloan, ASLA, M.Arch of Kevin Sloan Studio, with Robert Meckfessel, FAIA, DSGN Associates

Internationally recognized as an “innovative green project,” the award-winning Urban Reserve transformed a 10-acre site that had been an illegal landfill for more than 50 years into an exquisite Modernist community. In 2004, Urban Edge Developers in Dallas purchased the tract to construct a sustainable community, engaging landscape architect Kevin Sloan Studio and architects including Tod Williams and Billie Tsien. The refined aesthetics and careful grooming are equaled by environmentally sensitive details: the main street is a continuous biofilter; storm water is conveyed into rain gardens, separated by parking; cypress and reed plants filter water to sedimentation ponds for low-velocity drip irrigation. Concrete fragments and steel beams left over from its previous use as a landfill have been repurposed as “bricolage” for pavements and terraces. As part of the Dialogue, attendees will visit the landscapes of three private residences.
