Landscape Design.

The need for water conserving landscapes is as old as crop production. Civilization's sustenance depends upon man’s ability to reliably produce vegetative food in spite of the fluctuating availability of one key plant requirement and natural resource, water.

Attention toward water conservation has grown in the commercial and residential landscape arena for both practical and philosophical reasons. Necessity precipitates innovation.

Responsibility falls upon the landscape designer to consider the greater environmental impact, beneficial or destructive, of the sites they sculpt for their clients. Those who plan and install residential landscape designs must attempt to incorporate water conserving elements to contribute, site by site, to the mitigation of negative environmental impact from landscaping on a macro level.

Considering that landscape development and maintenance for the non-agricultural application is optional, not mandatory, it is incumbent upon the landscape trade to consider water economy in the design, installation and maintenance of aesthetic and low production vegetative landscapes.
