    THE AMERICAN LAWN: CULTURE, NATURE, DESIGN AND SUSTAINABILITY _______________________________________________________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University _______________________________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Landscape Architecture _______________________________________________________________________________ by Maria Decker Ghys May 2013 _______________________________________________________________________________ Accepted by: Dr. Matthew Powers, Committee Chair Dr. Ellen A. Vincent, Committee Co-Chair Professor Dan Ford Professor David Pearson ABSTRACT This was an exploratory study examining the processes and underlying concepts of design nature, and culture necessary to discussing sustainable design solutions for the American lawn. A review of the literature identifies historical perceptions of the lawn and contemporary research that links lawns to sustainability. Research data was collected by conducting personal interviews with green industry professionals and administering a survey instrument to administrators and residents of planned urban development communi- ties. Recommended guidelines for the sustainable American lawn are identified and include native plant usage to increase habitat and biodiversity, permeable paving and ground cover as an alternative to lawn and hierarchical maintenance zones depending on levels of importance or use. These design recommendations form a foundation

    Virginia Tech Hokies vs. No. 19/19 Virginia Cavaliers Postgame Notes Jan. 4, 2020 John Paul Jones Arena | Charlottesville, Va. FINAL SCORE: Virginia Tech 39, No. 19/19 Virginia 65 RECORDS AND NOTABLES ● Virginia Tech falls to 10-4 overall and 1-2 in ACC play. ● Tech is now 1-1 on the road in ACC play, with its lone victory coming over Clemson 67-60 in the season opener on Nov. 5. ● Tech trails Virginia in the all-time series 94-56, with the Cavaliers owning the last three meetings. Tech’s last win was a 61-60 overtime victory in Charlottesville in 2018. ● The last time Tech was held to under 40 points was on Feb. 18, 1967 at East Carolina in a 43-33 loss. ● UP NEXT: The Hokies will continue their road stretch as they travel to Syracuse, New York to take on ​ the Orange on Tuesday, Jan. 7 at 9 p.m. ET at the Carrier Dome. TEAM NOTES ● Virginia Tech used the starting lineup of Wabissa Bede, Tyrece Radford, P.J. Horne, Landers Nolley II, and Nahiem Alleyne. After tying a season high of 49 points off the bench, Tech just mustered seven points versus the Cavaliers. ● KEY FIRST HALF RUN: The Hokies struggled to find offense early due to stifling defense from Virginia. ​ Tech fell behind 26-11 late in the first when redshirt freshman Landers Nolley finished off an old-fashioned three-point play followed by a triple from Nolley to cut into the deficit. Nolley scored 15 of Tech’s 17 points in the first half as Virginia entered halftime leading 30-17.
