Sustainable landscaping is not only important because it saves money, it also limits the human impact on the surrounding ecosystem. Planting species not native to the landscape may introduce invasive plant species as well as new wildlife that was not in the ecosystem before. Altering the ecosystem is a major problem and meeting with an expert with experience with the wildlife and agriculture in the area will help avoid this.

Lawn is one aspect of landscape design that takes a lot of water to look good. Choose the kind of grass that needs less water, or convert some of your lawn into an outdoor area with pavers, gravel or even a deck. Your lifestyle will be enhanced and you will use less water, time and effort in watering the lawn.
