Sustainable Landscaping


If you are doing a remodeling in your home and or patio/garden, before you throw all that stuff away, think of sustainable landscaping. If you thing that somehow you are not going to use it and recycle it, then share with your friends and neighbors, they might have a good use of it for their garden or patio.
You or they might from the excess timber or an old bed make a garden bench. Be able to create what’s missing out of what you already have in your landscape, create beds for the garden, use old vases and pots to add a particular plant or flower to the garden collection, or with that excess building materials such as wood, bricks, fencing etc. create a charming yet functional landscape adding that touch which feels personalized for your outdoor enjoyment, as if it was an extension of you home living. At the same time by recycling it feel good, because either by giving or using the excess for your garden you are contributing to send less stuff to the burden landfills which adds to soil, air and water pollution. The textures and shapes of materials you use in your garden are keys to your design. Learn how to choose the right landscape or hire a professional to help you create a hydrozoning landscape with bed layer, and with a good low flow water dripping system you minimize the water consumption and makes the garden more enjoyable with minimal and easy maintenance.
