GREEN BUILDER’S ANNUAL

Eco-Landscaping
Guide

Climate change is forcing us to rethink
the role of landscaping—and how it can
help our homes become more resilient.

LANDSCAPING SHOULDN’T BE an afterthought. The
plants, shrubs and trees that surround your projects
could make the difference between whether a home
can guard itself against wildfire, or whether it will
be consumed by flames. Whether it will contribute
to stormwater pollution, or whether it will help replenish
groundwater. Whether it will poison bees and other
pollinators, or whether it will serve as a haven for wildlife.
The features in our Eco-Landscaping issue will help
you design sustainable landscapes that complement your
sustainable homes.
