WINDBREAKS FOR LEISURE PROJECTS
Wind can be a major hindrance to the enjoyment of outdoor attractions in
many parts of the US and the world. We are working on design of a leisure
project in Dodge City, Kansas, USA, the windiest place in the US. Our design
will incorporate landscape windbreaks. Did you know that a properly designed
windbreak will reduce the wind speed for a distance of 20 times its height
on the leeward side (away from wind)? This is just one example of the attention
to detail that affects the quality of the guest experience that White Hutchinson
considers in the design of leisure projects.
