Sustainable landscaping for new construction.
Certainly, we were delighted in 2014 when a longtime landscaping dream finally came to fruition for the first time. Because we were hired that year for our first of many new construction landscape design/build projects. At this time, the construction site was in beautiful southern Saratoga County. The homes are located in a new subdivision in Clifton Park and use high-end, eco-friendly building materials from a Saratoga Springs retailer. T0 sum up, the builder was interested in sustainable landscaping for the new construction.
The planting plan was composed of perennial species that are indigenous to New York State. Besides being beautiful and colorful through the seasons, native plant landscaping is low maintenance. It offers life support for our native wildlife, including butterflies and songbirds.
Future Eco-Forecast: Bright!
When the bulldozers and skid steers roll out it’s time to start repairing the land. Twenty years in the future, the ecosystem will be productive and biodiverse… if the builders choose sustainable landscaping. Certainly, native species trees, shrubs, grasses and perennials have the local plant power to restore our habitat. Unquestionably, new construction is the perfect place for habitat building landscaping. Native plants fuel our habitat restoration efforts, native plants are the engine that bring new life to our ecosystem.
Sustainable Landscaping Strategies.
Sustainable landscape design means using organic/chemical free methods. Additionally it requires low carbon footprint choices and choosing native species plants. New trees, shrubs, plants and grass species should all be native for the “sustainable landscape” label to apply.
Wildflower Lawn Seed Mix.
Wildflower lawn seed would be a wonderful addition to such a sustainable landscaping project. Our custom blend of evergreen foliage Aster and Yarrow would colonize the lawn spaces and extend the habitat restoration space.
