LOW-INPUT SUSTAINABILITY

Minimizing Energy Use and Damage
An often overlooked component of creating a truly sustainable landscape is to create efficiency in construction strategies to save both energy and damage to existing healthy flora. Most landscapes are handcrafted without the use of heavy equipment on site.

  • When possible, use less gas-powered machinery during site preparation and installation
  • Increased efficiency of construction logistics so as to minimize energy use
  • Reuse existing materials when possible (i.e. plants, soil, stone, certain mulches)
  • Minimize impacts on existing tree roots
  • Ingenuity
