What is Sustainable Landscape Architecture?
Before we get to the benefits of sustainable landscape architecture, we need to know what the term really means. Much like when you’re talking about sustainable agriculture, sustainable landscaping means that ecological, social and economic aspects are considered when implementing a plan. For example, installing a green roof in which the roof of a building is planted rather than using traditional dark-colored roofing materials helps manage water in the area where it is located, cuts down on cooling costs, provides a space for wildlife and humans to enjoy, and contributes to a healthier ecology for the planet on a very small scale. Similar ideas can be taken into consideration when designing your own sustainable projects.
