Sustainability issues for landscaping include:
- Global Climate Change
- Air Pollution
- Water Pollution
- Water Shortage and Drought
- Stormwater Management
- Pesticide Toxicity
- Soil Health
- Fertilizer Run-off
- Non-Renewable Sources
- Energy Usage
Non-Sustainable Practices
A landscape that requires a lot of maintenance due to poor planning can require excess yard waste, use of gas powered machinery, or toxic fertilizers and pesticides. Installing materials that requires significant manufacturing, quarrying or transportation can have a negative impact on the environment. Improperly designed landscapes can create excessive stormwater runoff, insect infestations, increase water usage, and retain heat. We are your partner to ensure that your yard is beneficial to our environment for years to come.
