Environmentally Friendly Landscapes
and Ecologically Friendly Landscapes

Native and Heritage Plant Designs

By allowing for proper space utilization by plants that are proven to adapt to the stresses of the native environment and microclimates, the landscape becomes sustainable with lower maintenance cost.

Water Efficient Landscape Plantings

Selecting plants that quickly establish themselves in the landscape and require no supplemental irrigation once established makes your landscape ecologically friendly.

The Use of Organic Compost and Mulch Amended – Soils and Beds

This practice reduces the need to fertilize, moderates temperatures of the environment and the plant root system. Organic compost and mulches supports the beneficial microorganisms below the soil level and increases the water holding, carbon trapping and oxygen retaining capacity of the soil

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Techniques

IPM incorporates preventative practices that minimize weed, insect and disease problems and eliminates the need for chemical pesticides.

Energy-Efficient Maintenance

By using manual or fuel efficient tools to maintain the landscape, noise levels and air pollution are reduced.

Sustainable Resource Inputs

Environmentally friendly landscapes reduce pollution, lower maintenance cost and scheduling, eliminate the need for costly repairs and renovations by using items and materials that can be recycled and/or reused. Organic products are utilized whenever possible.
