Are you targeting LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification? Have concerns over pesticides, water usage, and air quality surfaced around your workplace? Are landscape maintenance fees and water bills chipping away at your budget? Are you looking for a simple way to improve the local environment while impressing your clients and the community at large?

Whatever reason you have for considering changes to your corporate landscape, one thing is clear - it's time for a fundamental shift.

It's time to consider moving beyond traditional approaches. It's time to think about sustainable landscape design.

Sustainable Landscape Design -
What is it?
Basically, large turf areas are replaced or substituted with ecologically sound sustainable landscapes requiring less maintenance, little or no chemicals and no watering. These landscapes may take many forms, such as a:
… wildflower meadow or short grassland
… shrub and forest complex
… woodland understory

Landscape of the Future
With new pesticide by-laws and further watering restrictions, the naturalized landscape will be the landscape of the future. Some things just make sense!
