Making an Impact in the Yard

Sustainable landscaping is a way of designing and maintaining beautiful yards, gardens, and larger landscapes to:

  • Reduce harm to the environment;
  • Save time and money with lower maintenance; and
  • Have healthier places to work and play.

Sustainable gardening techniques can not only produce a thriving, beautiful lawn, but can also reduce your water bill and keep yard wastes out of landfills where they contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.

Composting
Home composting is an economical and convenient alternative to bagging yard debris for disposal or hauling it to transfers stations.
Garden
The more you know about your regional environment, the more success you'll have growing your garden.
Water in the Yard
According to the United Nations, over the next twenty years the supply of fresh water per-person will decline by 33%, so proper water management is essential.
