Raised granite planter curbs, custom planter
pots, accenting lights, saw-cut paving with
sandblasted accents, colorful xeric (low water
use) landscaping, and a suspended paver
grate system have transformed the street into
the first large-scale "greenroads" certified
street in the country, as well as one of the
Denver's most thriving and vibrant corridors.

Selux pole lighting highlights the finished look
of the pavers and tree ring collar over the
suspended grating system. The hardscape
installation necessitated the development of
new material mix specifications and technical
details to withstand Denver's harsh freezethaw cycles, accommodate flexible outdoor
functional uses, and promote sustainable
practices and ADA accessibility.
