climate-appropriate landscaping

Climate-appropriate landscaping involves designing outdoor spaces using plants and materials that naturally thrive in the local climate conditions, such as temperature, rainfall, and sunlight. This approach minimizes the need for extra watering, fertilizers, and ongoing maintenance, promoting sustainability and reducing environmental impact. By selecting native or well-adapted plants, the landscape becomes more resilient, healthy, and visually appealing, while also conserving resources and supporting local ecosystems. Essentially, it’s about creating a functional, beautiful outdoor area that respects and works with the natural climate rather than against it.
