Incorporating Sustainable Landscape Design and Solutions
Bringing sustainable landscape solutions into your grounds maintenance plan not only prevents pollution and preserves ecosystems but also reduces costs. Many easy and effective green solutions can be started and then built upon. Switching to xeriscapes, or low water use landscapes as and when plant areas need replacing can reduce water use while still maintaining aesthetics and doesn’t have to be an all-at-once solution. Examining irrigation delivery systems for leaks and runoff can reduce unnecessary water use and bills. Other solutions to consider include reducing fertilizer and pesticide use, recycling and composting landscape waste, and/or converting plant material into mulch.
As experts in landscape maintenance, PRIDE Industries offers eco-friendly solutions for any landscape by first gaining an understanding of site-specific characteristics and the customer’s requirements. Our water management focuses on the minimization of water use and waste through close monitoring of irrigation systems and environmental conditions. We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) processes which incorporate fertilizer reduction and pesticide use and recycle green waste back into the ecosystem. Our aim is to give the best sustainable solutions that work for your park, landscape, or municipality.
Our LEED compliant services help clients reach achievements in location, planning, sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, waste reduction, indoor environmental quality, and innovative strategies.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Landscape Questions
-
Eco-friendly, or environmentally friendly commercial landscaping involves eliminating or minimizing water waste, avoiding the use of harsh chemicals, embracing native plants and shrubs and encouraging biodiversity within the landscape.
-
Water shortages effect people and the environment so eco-friendly grounds that cut back on water use while continuing to preserve a verdant commercial landscape is a win-win. An eco-friendly landscape that grows drought-tolerant ground covering requires less maintenance and benefits the environment by reducing air and noise pollution from gas powered equipment. Finally, eco-friendly landscapes avoid the use chemicals that can runoff into waterways causing harm to the environment.
-
Commercial landscaping can move toward becoming sustainable in several ways. For example, recycling materials used in landscape maintenance and water conservation can be introduced, and even save on costs. Watering schedules and systems can be regularly checked to see if watering time can be adjusted and leaking irrigation hardware repaired. Grass clippings and other organic matter can be used for onsite composting and wood can be converted to mulch.
-
Commercial lawn care can be costly, for the environment and for your budget. To make your business lawn more environmentally friendly, especailly in drought prone areas, consider swapping out some of the lawn when it needs replacing with low-water grasses, or other drought tolerant groundcovering. Good maintenance and regular repair and adjustment of irrigation systems to prevent water waste and maintaining environmentally friendly watering schedules or replacing timers with sensors that water on need will also help.
-
Sustainable commercial landscapes are important because they contribute to the preservation of a healthy environment and reduce unneccesary waste. They also allow urban areas to maintain green spaces and micro habitats for insects and small creatures.
-
The goal of a sustainable commercial landscape is to prevent pollution and waste and to preserve ecosystems and the environment. Goals for sustainability can be acheived by managing resources while still maintaining beautiful areas of nature in urban and commercial settings, parks and gardens.
