Written by Forest Hill:
This is a picture of the Panera Bread restaurant inside the restaurant complex at the Providence Medical Office Buildings Center, in Fullerton California. This job was beautifully designed and is a perfect example of a semi-drought tolerant landscape.
The first step was to complete the landscape of the office buildings and then the parking structure. A year later we landscaped the Rehabilitation School and then the restaurant complex.
At first there were a few problems we had to deal with, for instance, proper location of bare root palms in the 20 to 25 foot range before the hardscape could be installed. And then there was the irrigation and planting of a huge crib wall that was, in some areas, 40 feet tall. But working with GMI Construction as the general contractor, and Kirk at Borthwick Guy Bettenhausen Landscape Architect, together we turned over to the owners a nearly perfect site.
Over all I really enjoyed this project. The tougher the job the more interesting it is to me.
