Edlund Landscapes promotes sustainable landscape projects that can be maintained for years after installation with minimal long-term effect on the environment.  Sustainably landscaped projects provide social and economic benefits not only to the immediate site but for the surrounding area as well.

​

We strive to create design solutions that preserve and protect existing trees, soil and other amenities on a site whenever possible.  Unusable materials are recycled or properly disposed of.

​

We emphasize proper soil preparation which creates healthy root zones for trees and plants and provides adequate drainage, oxygen transfer and nutrients.   Healthy soil produces healthy plants and helps reduce runoff to protect water quality for people, fish and wildlife.

​

We advocate the use of native plants whenever possible to provide biodiversity, wildlife habitat and water conservation.  We choose the right plant for the right place to minimize the long term maintenance hassles of overgrown plants.

​

We design our irrigation systems to be as efficient as possible to conserve our precious water resources.

​

We use environmentally appropriate organic or slow-release fertilizer products.  Pesticides are only used when necessary as part of a best management practice approach to weed an insect control.
