Sustainable Landscaping

Sustainable landscaping is the practice of designing and maintaining outdoor spaces in a way that conserves resources, supports local ecosystems, and minimizes environmental impact. This technique involves using native plants, efficient irrigation systems, organic fertilizers, and environmentally friendly materials. Sustainable landscaping also includes practices such as composting, mulching, rainwater harvesting, and reducing lawn areas in favor of more diverse plantings. The goal is to create a landscape that is not only beautiful and functional but also resilient and self-sustaining. Proper sustainable landscaping contributes to biodiversity, reduces water and energy consumption, and helps mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon and reducing the urban heat island effect.
