Sustainable Residential Design

Creating healthier, more efficient, and more resilient homes through sustainable landscape design.

Sustainable residential design helps homeowners reduce their environmental impact while improving health, comfort, and the long-term value of their property. The way we use plants, water, energy, and materials in our yards and outdoor spaces plays a major role in the health of local ecosystems and our communities.

Explore four key areas where sustainable landscape design can make a difference:

Applying Ecological Design

Native plants help reduce resource use and reconnect fragmented ecosystems in residential areas.

Improving Water Management

Sustainable landscape design enables homeowners to conserve water and manage stormwater at home. 

Increasing Energy Efficiency

Sustainable landscape design can boost home energy efficiency, lower long-term costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Using Low-Impact Materials

Low-impact, durable, and recyclable materials result in healthier homes and landscapes.
