Description:
Landscape gardening areas are open spaces with full sun. We recommend everyday watering. However, a few conditions may change based on the exact location. We can plant varieties that will be guided accordingly at the time of execution. The typical family uses 400 gallons of water daily, of which about 30% is used for landscape and garden irrigation—enough to fill 400,000 swimming pools! A sustainable residential landscape can be every bit as lush and beautiful as a traditional landscape gardening, while still conserving soil, water, and energy and reducing or eliminating the use of toxic chemicals. It can also grow in harmony with the local ecosystem, attracting native wildlife.
