That is a great question. There is an obvious answer. But it often depends on who you ask. In fact it’s similar to the phrase “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” That is to say, it’s how you look at it.
So what is the common denominator? From my perspective it’s storm drainage. Others may see something else. The moving flow of stormwater has to go somewhere. Trench and slot drains are valuable tools for moving large volumes of water rapidly. They terminate into larger drainage parts of civil drainage systems.
My grandfather. M. E. Atkinson was a GC. He built schools, hospitals and churches. At the same time he was also one of the Premier Nurseryman in Georgia during his day. So much so that he sold Pike Nurseries “on credit” to help them get started in Mr. Pikes early days. He also sold Green Brothers all of their bedding plants and vegetable plants. Mr. Lamar & Mr. Lanier Green were great customers of ours and always friendly.
When I worked for my Grandfather during my college years at Gordon State College, I delivered daily to Green locations and twice a week to Pike Nurseries. So my roots run very deep in the industry.
Todays landscaping has changed dramatically and especially of late. Now we are able to design projects that are aesthetically beautiful. Often radius trench drains are a large part of these modern projects. Incorporating drainage, such as trench drains, tied together the sections of a particular projects having both Civil and Landscape design elements in them. That’s the answer to the question. The intersection is drainage.
