Learn how to landscape
Sustainable landscaping is the implementation of varied systems to create an environmentally friendly and climate appropriate landscape. Some of the benefits of sustainable landscaping include water conservation, improving soil health, carbon sequestration, and creating habitat through appropriate plant selection.
Sustainable landscaping's purpose is to maximize efficiency and minimize impact.
Overarching goals are for a landscape to:
- Uphold values for health and safety, wildlife and the environment
- Endure over the long term without using excessive resources
- Use natural functions and processes so landscapes maintain themselves
