1. Use Native Plants

Incorporating native plants into your landscaping design is one of the easiest ways to create a sustainable landscape. IslandEarth Landscape Services specializes in using native plants adapted to the local climate and requiring less water and maintenance than non-native plants. They also provide habitat for local wildlife, including pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

2. Use Drought-Tolerant Plants

Choosing plants adapted to drought conditions and requiring minimal watering is another crucial aspect of creating a sustainable landscape. At IslandEarth Landscape Services, we can help you select the best drought-tolerant plants for your commercial property to reduce your water consumption and save you money on your water bill.

3. Install a Rain Garden

IslandEarth Landscape Services can help you create a rain garden to capture and filter rainwater runoff. By creating a rain garden, you can reduce erosion, improve water quality, and provide a habitat for wildlife.

4. Install a Green Roof

A green roof is a roof that is partially or entirely covered with vegetation. IslandEarth Landscape Services can help you design and install a green roof that can reduce the heat island effect, improve energy efficiency, and provide a habitat for wildlife. Green roofs also help to retain rainwater and reduce stormwater runoff.

5. Use Compost

At IslandEarth Landscape Services, we believe in using Compost to fertilize your plants as an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic fertilizers. Compost improves soil health, reduces erosion, and provides plant nutrients. It also reduces the amount of organic waste that goes to landfills.

6. Use Organic Pest Control

Organic pest control methods, such as companion planting and biological controls, are another way to create a sustainable landscape. At IslandEarth Landscape Services, we can help you minimize the use of synthetic pesticides, which is better for the environment and can also reduce your costs.

7. Use Mulch

Using Mulch around your plants helps to retain soil moisture, reduce weed growth, and improve soil health. At IslandEarth Landscape Services, we can help you choose the best type of Mulch for your commercial property to keep your landscaping healthy and sustainable.

8. Use Efficient Irrigation Systems

An essential aspect of creating a sustainable landscape is using efficient irrigation systems, such as drip irrigation and smart controllers. We can help you design and install the best irrigation system for your commercial property to minimize water use and runoff.

9. Use Permeable Paving

Using permeable paving materials, such as permeable concrete or porous asphalt, is another critical aspect of creating a sustainable landscape. At IslandEarth Landscape Services, we can help you choose the best absorbent paving materials for your commercial property to reduce stormwater runoff and improve water quality.

10. Provide Pollinator Habitat

We understand the importance of providing a habitat for pollinators, such as bees and butterflies. By incorporating plants that provide nectar and pollen, you can help to support local pollinator populations and create a healthy ecosystem.
