Great article and the images look incredible. A lot can go into garden landscaping and it is very time consuming. I hired Oak Park Water Garden to do mine and they did a fantastic job. I had some ideas of how I wanted it laid out but they took control and the outcome was outstanding. I can finally look out by back door and be happy with the way it looks now.
Garden Landscaping
An eco-friendly paradise
Think about the millions of tons of waste materials that are hauled away, buried or burned each day from landscaping and groundskeeping operations. This includes trees, shrubs, brush, lumber, asphalt and concrete, just to name a few.
Also, consider the millions of gallons of water, pesticides, fertilizers and fuels used to keep gardens, yards and landscapes healthy, lush and green. The costs of these materials — both economic and environmental — can easily be reduced or eliminated with updated landscaping methods.
Incorporate some of the following green landscaping elements into your daily gardening routine and do your part for the planet. (Text: EPA)
