We are trying to reach the 5% landscaped area in a project.
The question is: how do we measure it? The shaded area or the tree well area?
Thank you!

There is no hard and fast rule on how to measure, but I'd argue that it would vary depending on context. For example, for a tree in the ground (no hard scape), I will typically use the tree's drip line as my tree area. However, in a more urban or plaza context in which the tree is in a specific tree well, then I would use the well area. Hope that helps.
