Sustainable landscaping doesn’t mean sacrificing style. In fact, some of the most attractive landscapes in Maple Valley are also the most environmentally responsible. Here’s how to bring sustainability into your yard:
Smart, Sustainable Moves:
-
Plant Wisely: Choose drought-tolerant, regionally adapted plants that thrive with little intervention.
-
Reduce Runoff: Use permeable surfaces like gravel or pavers with spacing to let rain soak into the ground.
-
Compost Your Yard Waste: Turn grass clippings, leaves, and kitchen scraps into garden gold.
-
Install Drip Irrigation: It delivers water directly to the roots, saving water and minimizing evaporation.
-
Design with Wildlife in Mind: Add birdhouses, pollinator plants, and layers of shrubs to support local species.
Going green in your garden isn’t just good for the planet — it can also save you time, money, and effort in the long run.
