What are Sustainable Practices and why are they important?
There has been a considerable amount of awareness within the landscape industry about the benefits of applying methods that promote sustainability. With water being such a precious resource here in the desert, sustainability has never been more important, but there are many other factors that property owners and managers should consider when it comes to their landscape maintenance. Here are a few reasons why Sustainable Landscape Management (SLM) practices are important:
- Improves the quality and appearance by eliminating unnecessary pruning and shearing, which allows shrubs to bloom, which brings color.
- Preserves limited and valuable natural resources such as water, and decreases costs for fuel, fertilizer, and plant replacements.
- Reduces the amount of organic waste going into landfills.
- Reduces air, water, and soil pollution created by gas-powered equipment.
- Promotes healthier, longer living, and more attractive plants.
