Eco-Friendly Landscaping

I always think about eco-friendly household cleaners, organic produce, and green flooring. Frankly though, I never thought about eco-friendly landscape. Here are some easy ways to improve your environment through landscaping.

1. Reduce energy costs by planting deciduous shade trees. These trees will allow warmth in the winter and help reduce heat in the summer.
2. Use evergreen trees to reduce cold wind in the Winter. Evergreens should be planted in an area that will block the wind during cold weather months.
3. Add plants that are native to your area.
4. Plan for irrigation, plants, and garden design that will save water.
5. Consider solar powered landscaping lights.
