The Sunport Roadway landscape provides visitors with one of their first and last impressions of our City when traveling by air. The landscape renovation offers visitors a beautiful sample of New Mexican landscape materials, creates a better regional year-round image, and has decreased water consumption by over one-half of previous usage. Stone retaining walls and landscape edging border dense plantings of flowering shrubs and evergreens. Spray irrigated turfgrass areas within the median were replaced with native yuccas, a water harvesting swale and colorful perennial plantings. The project also included the construction of a new L.E.D sign which will be used to greet and inform visitors and four large scale Native American design pots illuminated by solar lighting. Portions of this project removed still more turfgrass away from the street on the Loop Road, reducing water waste. Extensive construction administration services provided by Sites Southwest ensured the successful completion of this project.
