Landscaping Plans
(OP)
Hello
I am reviewing some landscaping plans but I am not sure what I should check for. Also, is it common to have an engineer review landscaping plans? Any comments/suggestion are appreciated.

Pavement slab - refer engineers drawings
Pagola structure - refer engineers drawings
Bollards - refer engineers drawings
Retaining wall - refer engineers drawings
Footing - refer engineers drawings
etc
And then make sure you have something on your drawings to cover it.

What specifically are you looking at and what do you feel comfortable reviewing? Are you reviewing the aesthetics, design drawings or shop drawings?

agree that LA rarely interprets either the civil or structural plans accurately, recommend close coordination to avoid problems later. They like to plant trees everywhere, make sure they are not doing it where they shouldn't...

Add handicapped access requirements (is the landscape blocking ramps or driveways, parking lot or sidewalk ramps?)
Look for ALL drainage paths that are AIMED AWAY from the building and foundations, that do NOT create ice skating rinks in winter or turtle ponds and mosquito traps in summer.
Check that today's "new" runoff water retention ponds and the drains (over flows ?) from those runoff ponds are actually flowing the right direction, do not themselves become blocks or mosquito traps, nor clammed up with sediment.
