Designing a visually appealing landscape that also incorporates firewise, water-wise and ecosystem-friendly elements might seem like an impossible dream.
But that’s exactly why the Alpenscapes partnership was created.
If being firewise or water-wise is a top priority for you, keep in mind that being focused on one does not mean having to give up the other. Your landscape can be both – while also using native and sustainable plants – resulting in an easier-to-maintain and an aesthetically pleasing property.
To make it easy, we’ve compiled a list of the Top 10 Design Elements to Consider.
1.) Proper Identification: Learn to correctly identify weeds and take action.
2.) Understand Weed Biology: Get to know the life cycles of noxious weeds and how they spread (roots, seeds, or both) as that dictates how they are managed.
3.) Implement Integrated Weed Management: Combine methods of management for best results.
4.) Encourage Healthy Plant Communities: Select plant species that support the ecosystem and can compete with weeds.
Free landscape design templates will be coming soon. Be sure to sign up for emails to be notified when they are added to the site!
