Sustainable landscaping, for you and the planet!
Creating a sustainable landscape, and becoming eco-friendly is on a steady incline. Luckily, you do not have to travel further than your own yard to be kind to the environment. There are a variety of ways to make your landscape eco-friendly. If you find yourself stuck at where to begin, Lehnhoff Landscaping has got you covered for all of your landscaping needs.
Sustainable Landscape Tip #1: Use Pots for Your Plants
Just because you lack the space does not mean you have to forgo a sustainable landscape. If you are limited on space but have a patio or deck, you can grow potted plants instead. Your options are endless if you choose potted plants. You can grow your own herbs or vegetables, or use them for privacy. You can also choose to grow plants that attract pollinators, making your small landscape more eco-friendly.
Sustainable Landscape Tip #2: Grasscycle
After you mow the lawn, you may be inclined to sweep up the grass clippings and throw them away. Instead, you can reuse those clippings to add nutrients to your lawn, reducing your need to to apply fertilizer. This process is more commonly known as “grasscycling”. To go the extra mile, you can also use leaves as mulch for your lawn and around your plants to make a more sustainable landscape.
Sustainable Landscape Tip #3: Minimize the Use of Fertilizer and Pest Products
Pest control products need only to be used at specific times during the year. Take care to follow the product’s instructions carefully and remember, less is more. If you are unsure of which products will coincide with your lawn, a trained landscape professional will be more than happy to walk you through the process.
Sustainable Landscape Tip #4: Use Eco-Friendly Plants
Do you have plants in your landscape that have become a nuisance? If that is the case, it is okay to swap those plants out with more sustainable options. Your landscape should be a place of enjoyment rather than a hassle that needs constant maintenance.
