Proposed vegetative buffer will introduce a vegetative buffer strip, from 8’ to 20’ in depth, above the riprap walls. This vegetative buffer will be planting with native shorland species and adapted cultivars. The goal is a natural grass and forb buffer, rather than a manicured garden. This will provide filtration of all runoff from the yard, and allow some in-filtration as well. Some shrub plantings will be planted within this buffer area to provide some screening and provide some year-round visual edge. <br />In the southern and wooded area of the property, the buffer will transition to understory and woodland edge plants that are more tolerant of the shade. <br />The planting and design relies on the best practices as outlined in the Landscaping for Wild-life and Water Quality published by the MN DNR and The Lake Minnetonka Guide to Shoreline Gardens, funded by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. <br />Disturbance for planting to be kept to a minimum. Planting will be plugs and seeding. <br />Big Island Landscape Project <br />LowShrub plantings <br />Blue BeechRed Maple <br />Ironwood <br />TallerShrub plantings <br />Shrub plantings <br />transition to woodland edge plantings <br />woodland edge& understory plantings <br />White Oak
