Some strategies for limiting the amount of hardscape include: 

• Share parking with adjacent sites, and encourage carpooling and other ways to minimize demand for parking.
• Stack the parking— either underground or in a parking garage. 
• Analyze anticipated site walking patterns to discover ways to minimize the length of sidewalks from parking lots to buildings. Place building entrances where people will need them, not far across expanses of sidewalk.
• If there are existing trees onsite, look for opportunities to place the project’s necessary hardscapes adjacent to the trees to utilize shading and plant new trees and anticipate the shading that will be present in five years.
