The project: IMEG provided landscape architecture services for the master planning of the Covenant Woods Senior Independent Living Community and designed a site plan to be implemented in three phases.

The goal: IMEG worked closely with the client understanding the needs of the seniors to make these outdoor spaces vital for overall health and wellness.

Design approach: The site design enhances the existing pond by incorporating a scenic water feature with an overlook deck, complete with picnic tables and shaded seating. A wellness-focused, accessible path winds through the community, connecting a variety of engaging destinations, including an outdoor cookout area with comfortable furniture under a shaded pergola, sensory gardens, vegetable gardening spaces, and active recreation areas featuring bocce and pickleball courts.

The outcome: The landscape is a balance of native diverse habitat and low-maintenance adaptable ornamental planting which provides seasonal interest throughout the site.
