As more people care about the environment, many homeowners want to make their outdoor spaces beautiful without harming the planet. Sustainable landscaping and hardscaping help with this. They let you create a great garden while being gentle on the environment. At 345 Landscaping, we love helping you find this balance.

Embracing Nature’s Bounty: Sustainable Landscaping Practices

• Native Plant Power: Choose plants that are native to your area and suited to your local weather and soil. They need less water, are less likely to get bugs or diseases, and help support bees and butterflies. At 345 Landscaping, we know all about plants. We’ll suggest native ones that do well where you live. This means you won’t need as much fertilizer or bug spray.
• Water Wisely: Save water by using plants that can handle dry conditions and by using methods that use less water. Putting mulch around your plants keeps the soil damp, so you don’t have to water them as often. If you need it, 345 Landscaping can set up a watering system that gives your plants just the right amount of water, without wasting any.
• Composting Magic: Make compost from leftover food and yard clippings to give your plants natural nutrients. Composting cuts down on trash in landfills and makes your soil better, which helps your plants grow well without needing as much chemical fertilizer. If you want to start composting, 345 Landscaping can help you set up and take care of a compost bin for a greener garden.

Building With the Earth in Mind: Sustainable Hardscaping Choices

• Local and Recycled Materials: Lower your carbon footprint by picking materials for your outdoor features, like patios and walls, that come from nearby. Using recycled materials, such as old bricks or pavers, gives your space a cool look while being good for the environment. At 345 Landscaping, we team up with local suppliers as much as we can and can check out recycled materials to help the planet.
• Permeable Surfaces: Cut down on water running off during storms by using special pavers for your patios and walkways. These pavers let rain soak into the ground, which helps refill groundwater and eases pressure on storm drains. At 345 Landscaping, we have different types of these pavers that can make your outdoor spaces work better and look great.
• Water Harvesting Systems: Collect rainwater using barrels or tanks. You can use this water to water your plants instead of using water from the city. At 345 Landscaping, we can help you pick out and set up a rainwater system that works for you and follows local rules.
