Sustainability can be defined as being environmentally responsible by some people. To others it may mean requiring minimal or no maintenance, including native plants, water conservation, and avoiding pesticides. It can also be referred to as cost-effective.
Establishing a common definition of the landscape and setting goals for sustainability is the first step in any landscape design project. A sustainable landscape design that is comprehensive and holistic addresses several goals. These include protecting the site, surrounding land, and ecosystems, reducing water usage, limiting pesticide use, using plants and materials from local resources, ensuring the well-being and health of those who use the site, and determining the cost over the life-cycle of the project.
