When customers come to your business, they see the outside first. Maintaining this area creates a positive impression, and using environmentally friendly landscape design shows that you care about more than profit. If you aren’t already using sustainable landscaping techniques, here are a few reasons to start. 

Why Use Green Landscaping Techniques at Your Business?

1. Saves Water

A crucial part of sustainable landscaping is adorning it with native flowers, shrubs, and grasses. These are plants that are more suited to the local climate and weather, so they will thrive in the natural environment with little to no extra watering. Removing large areas of non-native grass and the need for irrigation systems conserves fresh-water tables and prevents fertilizer runoff from entering waterways.

2. Reduces Cooling Costs

Hawaiian days are 10 to 12 hours long for most of the year. Adding shade trees around your property provides a natural way to block direct sunlight from hitting your building and reduce your need for air conditioning. As a bonus, trees will limit carbon dioxide levels around your building to improve the surrounding air quality.

3. Supports Native Life

By incorporating eco-friendly landscaping, you introduce native plants and reduce the need for harmful pesticides and fertilizer. This provides food sources and shelters for native birds, insects, and microorganisms that will keep the ecosystem you’ve created healthy and beautiful.
