For properties more constrained by size, a second option provides a similar level of screening, but allows a berm or fence to be used in conjunction with a smaller width landscape strip and a lower density of plant materials. Each option identifies the width of the buffer and the numbers and types of plants required per 100 linear feet, or portion thereof.
