2024 ASLA NCC Award Winner
ROCHE+ROCHE is excited to announce we have received an ASLA Northern California Chapter Merit Award for our work with Progeny Winery. Progeny Winery is set in the Mt. Veeder area of Napa Valley, a wine-rich, but water-poor area of the valley. Several years post-construction, the owners found they struggled to produce and collect enough water to support both the 32-acre vineyard and the ornamental landscape. The level pad for the winery, hospitality and office buildings had been created by topping a knoll, which successfully created the needed space for the buildings and hardscape, but left challenging soil conditions for the planting areas. The original landscape further suffered from a lack of available water during some of the critical establishment years. To give the revised landscape every chance of thriving, the new design improved drainage for the oak trees, provided soils-test based amendments, and a new, targeted drip irrigation system. With a new palette of natural drifts of ornamental grasses, native shrubs and perennials, succulents, and a unifying mulch of crushed gravel, water use was reduced to meet the client’s target, while keeping the budget for the 9,000 s.f. of planting to under $100k.
