SITES Certification

SITES Certification is an accreditation awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council recognizing large-scale, sustainable landscape projects. It evaluates how well the project minimizes environmental impact, conserves resources, enhances ecological health, and promotes community well-being. The certification ensures that landscaping efforts are environmentally responsible and resilient, incorporating sustainable design principles in areas like stormwater management, plant selection, and habitat preservation. Achieving SITES certification demonstrates a commitment to sustainable development and helps build projects that are environmentally sound, socially beneficial, and economically viable over the long term.
