My Built Environment: Good, Bad, and Really Ugly

The November fugly award goes to a particular streetscape in the Greeley area. In this streetscape, somebody decided to plop down some large boulders as landscape elements. Now we use boulders all the time, but to be properly done, they need to be partially buried to look more or less natural. Not these, they were just plopped on top of the ground! And not just in turf areas, but in the concrete areas of the splitter islands for the round-a-bout. These look hideous. Not only are they out of scale, they aren’t buried properly, nor are they grouped to look some kind of setting. Nope…plop one here, one there, totally random.

Too bad, this was a nice project overall.
