Water-Wise and Climate Friendly

Over 50% of residential water used in North America is applied to landscape and lawns. The green approach to landscaping conserves water and other resources while providing beautiful, varied outdoor spaces to meet your individualized design objectives. Water-efficient landscaping is an integral part of the green building design process. We work with homeowners and the building team to design attractive, affordable, site-specific landscape plans that reduce water consumption from 20%-75%.

Resource-efficient landscapes consider both soil and climate conditions, use non-invasive, drought-tolerant plants, and high-efficiency irrigation systems. An integrated landscape plan provides optimal sun and shade for heating and cooling your home, conserves resources by using recycled elements and protects your property from fire. Plant waste, chemical use and pollution from gas-powered mowers are minimized or eliminated. All of these features protect your property value and provide a comfortable, safer outdoor environment for homeowners to enjoy.

Rainwater harvesting and/or grey water reuse are additional features you may want to consider, depending on your location.
