Sustainable Landscape Practices Garden Virginia Tech Hampton Roads Agricultural Research & Extension Center 1444 Diamond Springs Rd., Virginia Beach, VA Sustainable landscaping can also be called low maintenance, green, environmentally friendly, or conservation landscaping. Sustainable Concepts • biological diversity – using many different plants promotes beneficial insects, provides food & habitat for animals, & reduces pest impact • resource conservation – using existing topography, water, plants, & views in the design reduces costs & disturbance to the environment • long term planning – planning for mature plant sizes & the long-term look & use of the landscape reduces costs & minimizes plant crowding & maintenance • low impact / input – disturbing the site as little as possible & using healthy, well- adapted plants reduce maintenance & pesticide & fertilizer use • water conservation – grouping plants with similar water needs, using rain sensors, rain chains, rain barrels, & rain gardens/swales to collect runoff, help to conserve valuable water resources Sustainable Practices Used in this Landscape • Rain chains • Long term planning • Rain sensors • Correct planting • Rain barrel • Minimal site disturbance • Landscaped swales • Grasscycling
