Grounds and Landscape Services' Sustainable Practices

Sustainable landscape is defined as an approach to landscaping that emphasizes plant health and longevity. Sustainability does not mean the elimination of inputs into the landscape such as fertilizers, pesticides, labor, etc., but rather, sustainability means the development of outdoor spaces that utilize fewer inputs, are environmentally conscious and are self- perpetuating over a period of time. Most importantly, our goal for a sustainable landscape demonstrates a harmonious relationship between components in the landscape working in balance with one another.
