Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process used to evaluate the potential environmental effects of a proposed project or development before it is approved. In landscaping, an EIA helps identify and mitigate the environmental impacts of landscape design, construction, and maintenance activities. This assessment considers factors such as water usage, soil health, biodiversity, pollution, and resource consumption. The goal of an EIA is to ensure that landscape projects are designed and implemented in a way that minimizes harm to the environment and promotes sustainability. By conducting an EIA, landscapers and developers can make informed decisions that protect natural resources, reduce environmental risks, and comply with environmental regulations.
