Waynesborough Woods

Waynesborough Woods is located off of Route 252 just to the south of Leopard Road in Easttown Township. The use of a subtle berm and a mix of old and new plantings creates an attractive and effective buffer to the busy traffic on Route 252. The landscaped boulevard entrance to Waynesborough Woods and the use of curbing throughout the development is quite appealing. The use of traditional design materials and abundant landscaping create interesting and attractive nodes of housing.

Houses are clustered together around heavily landscaped courtyards designed for parking and, in some cases, limited recreation. The houses and landscaping blend well as a result of the use of cedar shingles, roofing, and other natural materials. The use of natural materials is a theme throughout the development. Wooden street signs and landscaped cul-de-sac islands successfully soften any expansive areas of asphalt and concrete that surround the uniquely laid out nodes of housing. Access is improved by the inclusion of a secondary access from Route 252 that is located about one-quarter mile to the east of the main entrance.

Waynesborough Woods is a very attractive development. The use of a subtle berm, thoughtful layout, and extensive landscaping have created a development that blends into the community. The inclusion of pedestrian facilities, such as a trail network, would further enhance this successful cluster subdivision.

Planted islands and curbing provide effective and attractive access management.

The subtle berm and plantings provide a buffer to Route 252.
