There are many ways you can improve your yard for spring, and incorporating a
little "green" into your landscape is a great place to start.
Here are some tips and ideas on how to make your yard more eco-friendly:
- Fix Drainage-
If you have flooding or erosion install a drainage system. Helping to
disperse water prevents run-off and erosion which can damage
ecosystems.
- Mulch-
Mulching also helps prevent run-off and erosion. In addition, it is a
great natural way to help nourish and protect your trees and shrubs.
- Buy in Bulk-
Why waste all that packaging when bulk mulch and gravel is usually
cheaper anyway. We now sell bulk items at our store in Laurel, MD.
- Think Permeable-
Permeable pavers and concrete are great options for hardscaping that
are more environmentally friendly because they help to filter water
naturally, preventing erosion and run-off.
- Go Native-
Use native plants, which are better adapted to your environment and
thus require less maintenance, water and chemical fertilizer.
