Frequently Asked Questions

Commercial properties can adopt several strategies for sustainable landscaping including energy efficient lighting, water conservation, smart irrigation controllers and sensors, and rainwater harvesting, drought-tolerant plants, and using sustainable materials to create an eco-friendly landscape.
One of the core benefits of sustainable landscaping is water conservation. Using native plants for borders and foundations can significantly reduce water use. Yet the addition of mulch and smart water controllers and sensors also contribute to conservation.
For the tree and plant care, a sustainable landscape will use organic fertilizers and pesticides to help promote a healthier and more sustainable commercial landscaping environment. Organic alternatives are important since they reduce the harmful impacts of synthetic chemicals on the ecosystem.
To optimize irrigation and conserve water, we recommend systems with smart controllers that adjust watering based on weather conditions and soil moisture. Regular maintenance checks to fix leaks and ensure the sprinkler heads are correctly aligned are also vital.
