Harris County Toll Road Authority Sound Wall
When the Hardy Toll Road expansion cut across Dennis Johnston Park, the Commissioner of Harris County Precinct 4 asked Talley Landscape Architects to design a prototype “green” sound wall to be constructed where the toll road would come within 15-feet of the Precinct Parks Department offices. The new wall was to be affordable, maintainable, durable, sustainable, and designed to support plantings.
Independently, TLA was hired by HCTRA develop the sound wall system and design a complete retrofit of the adjacent park area with a new event plaza, water feature, and landscape plantings.
