Green landscaping begins with the reduction of a standard lawn and the introduction of low-maintenance flower and shrub beds. Less lawn means less mowing and less watering as well. By enviroscaping with native plants, flowers, and grasses, the need for fertilizers and herbicides are for the most part eliminated. Watering is also further reduced, since these plants thrive naturally in such a habitat.
Additional benefits to green landscaping techniques include reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the use of lawn maintenance equipment, therefore improving air quality. Water table quality also improves with the reduction of herbicides, pesticides, and unneeded fertilizers.
