What is conservation landscaping?
A. Conservation landscaping refers to landscaping with the specific goals of conserving native plants, providing habitat for local and migratory animals, reducing pollution and improving water quality. This type of landscaping reduces the time and expense of mowing, watering, fertilizing and treating lawn and garden areas and offers greater diversity and visual interest than a lawn monoculture. The roots of many native plants are deeper than those of typical lawn grass and so they are better able to hold soil and capture rainwater in areas that are prone to erosion or poor drainage.
