Eco Friendly landscaping refers to landscaping that benefits and sustains the environment through erosion control, promoting soil health, and creating a space that is healthy for you and local wildlife.

Less Work, More Reward

When it comes to your home or commercial space’s landscaping, you obviously want it to look beautiful while benefiting your space in a way that aligns with its specific needs. Sometimes, beautiful spaces require a lot of upkeep to maintain. However, choosing more eco-friendly options can cut down on the amount and type of labor and maintenance you need! Eco-friendly and sustainable landscapes often focus on using plants native to the environment. Native plants attract native pollinators and insects, which play an important role in the upkeep of a healthy ecosystem. When the ecosystem is healthy, your landscaping will benefit greatly - with little to no work on your end!

Reduced Water Usage

One of the main goals of eco-friendly and sustainable landscaping is prioritizing and improving soil health. Choosing the right plants used in your landscaping can help ensure that your soil is filled with proper nutrients, minerals, and organic material. That will help the soil retain moisture better, reducing run-off and puddle accumulation. This not only will help you save money when it comes to watering your landscaping, but it will also help keep your space looking beautiful.

Less Pesticides and Chemical Usage

Healthy, nutrient rich soil can also cut down on your pesticides or fertilizer use! Healthy, happy soil that is dense in those nutrients, minerals, and organic material will have a better chance of feeding the plants in your landscaping, which lowers your needs for fertilizer and pesticides.

Lower Energy Costs

Choosing to focus on green landscaping can result in lowering your energy cost! By choosing the right plants and trees in your landscaping, you can improve shade coverage to your home and outdoor living space, which will result in less energy usage in the warm weather months.
