Design

Landscape design can range from simply choosing a replacement tree in your front yard, to tackling a multi-million dollar commercial landscape project. Making environmentally friendly choices at this stage is important. Our experts can help you make the right decisions for your landscape.

At the design stage we consider:

Vegetation choices that represent native ecosystems and require minimum inputs (water, fertilizer) throughout their life cycle

Minimize the landscapes potable water requirements

Water saving "smart" irrigation systems

Storm water management and onsite utilization

Reduce the urban heat island effect

Design the landscape with an IPM (Integrated Pest Management) maintenance plan in mind

Construction & Installation

When we build a new landscape, we are not just installing lawns and trees, we are creating outdoor spaces that can provide physiological benefits to humans, such as increased physical activity and reduced stress levels. With this in mind, Green Drop strives to be the leader in responsible and low environmental impact building practices:

Soil protection. We minimize disturbance to existing soil, and preserve existing vegetation wherever possible

Reuse of soil and materials. Our goal is a zero-net-waste site

Managing runoff water during construction to prevent pollution

Use recycled building materials whenever possible

Managing our equipment fleet to minimize our carbon footprint

A beautiful landscape starts at the beginning with proper planning and design. Green Drop professionals will be there through the entire process.
