Eco-Friendly Landscaping Solutions
There are a variety of green landscaping options that can help you enhance your outdoor space while minimizing your environmental impact. Here are a few of the most effective eco-friendly solutions we offer:
Geoweb Walls: Sustainable and Functional
Geoweb walls are an environmentally friendly, low-impact development structure that performs exceptionally well even in poor base conditions. These versatile walls are perfect for creating naturally vegetated barriers that look beautiful and reduce stormwater runoff. As a trusted choice among retaining walls contractors, these structures help control soil erosion and support your green building goals, making them a valuable addition to any sustainable landscape project.
Rain Barrels: Water Conservation Made Easy
Rain barrels collect and store rainwater from rooftops via gutters for future use in watering your garden or lawn. Properly installed rain barrels are a fantastic way to conserve water and reduce your reliance on municipal water sources. This simple and eco-friendly solution can also be part of a comprehensive drainage service strategy, helping manage stormwater runoff while making your outdoor space more self-sufficient.
Rain Gardens: Manage Runoff and Promote Water Conservation
Rain gardens are engineered depressions to collect runoff from impervious surfaces like roofs, driveways, and parking lots. These gardens absorb and filter pollutants from the water before they re-enter the groundwater or run off into local streams and creeks. By incorporating native plants and a specialized soil medium, rain gardens offer a sustainable solution for stormwater management. As part of professional landscaping services, rain gardens add functionality and beauty to your landscape.
Permeable Pavers: Sustainable Hardscaping Solutions
Permeable pavers are a fantastic eco-friendly option for creating durable pathways, patios, and driveways, allowing water to infiltrate the pavement and subbase. This helps reduce water runoff, control erosion, and filter pollutants from stormwater. With various materials to choose from, permeable pavers are a stylish and functional addition to any green landscape design, often included in professional landscaping services.
Why Choose Green Landscaping?
By choosing green landscaping solutions, you’re not just enhancing the beauty of your outdoor space but also positively impacting the environment. Here are some of the key benefits of incorporating eco-friendly practices into your landscaping:
Environmental Impact
Eco-friendly landscaping options help reduce your environmental footprint by conserving water, minimizing stormwater runoff, and preventing soil erosion. Using sustainable materials and incorporating native plants, we create landscapes that work with nature, not against it.
Cost-Effective Solutions
Many green landscaping options, like rain barrels and permeable pavers, are not only environmentally friendly—they’re also cost-effective. Rainwater harvesting can lower your water bills, while permeable paving reduces the need for costly drainage systems. Additionally, native plants require less maintenance and water, making them an economical choice for your landscape.
Increased Property Value
Sustainable landscaping increases the curb appeal and value of your property. Green features like rain gardens, geoweb walls, and permeable patios not only improve the functionality of your outdoor space—but also make your home more attractive to potential buyers who are increasingly looking for eco-friendly features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is green landscaping?
Green landscaping refers to using eco-friendly practices and sustainable materials to create beautiful and functional outdoor spaces. It includes water conservation techniques, native plantings, stormwater management, and using environmentally responsible hardscaping materials.
2. How do rain gardens help with stormwater management?
Rain gardens collect and absorb runoff from impervious surfaces like rooftops, driveways, and parking lots. The water is filtered through the soil and plants, reducing pollution and preventing flooding, while also replenishing groundwater.
3. What are permeable pavers, and why are they eco-friendly?
Permeable pavers are paving materials that allow water to pass through the surface and be absorbed by the soil below. This helps reduce runoff, control erosion, and filter pollutants, making them a sustainable alternative to traditional paving materials.
4. Why should I choose native plants for my landscape?
Native plants are adapted to the local climate and require less water, fertilizer, and maintenance than non-native species. They also support local wildlife and promote biodiversity, making them a sustainable choice for any landscape.

Erin Valentine2024-10-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were struggling to maintain our nearly half-acre property, which was full of native plants that the previous owner had planted without any clear plan. The Landscape Design Center came in and did a phenomenal job cleaning up almost the entire property. They removed the messy flower beds but carefully preserved some of the native plants, relocating them to areas where they now look much more attractive. They also pruned and tidied up other areas, including removing two trees, leaving the yard looking refreshed and beautifully maintained. Ana, the owner, was incredibly friendly and responsive throughout the entire process. She spent time with us to explain the details of the work and answered all our questions. We felt reassured knowing we were in good hands, and it was such a relief to have this huge task taken off our plate. We couldn’t be more satisfied with the work and would absolutely recommend the Landscape Design Center to anyone looking for quality landscaping services. We’ll definitely work with them again! Eddie Echard2024-05-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ana and the Landscape Design Center absolutely killed it!!! Very accommodating and great to work with from the initial consultation, through design, and all the way to the completion of the project. Ana was very responsive and the crew was very professional. We look forward to working with them to complete the rest of our yard in the future. Katrina Gessner2024-04-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience and would highly recommend. Anna listen to us and transformed our backyard yard into an oasis. The drainage problem is finally resolved and oh the patios look so divine. Easy walk out with the color of the sunroom tiles flow seamlessly with the pavers. I will definitely be calling Anna for all my future landscaping projects. Jillian A. R.2024-04-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible job! They completely transformed our backyard. Our backyard had a ton of gravel, a steep slope, poison ivy, plants ill-suited to the space, etc. We are so happy to now have a beautiful backyard and patio. Since the landscaping project last November, we have already made wonderful memories in our backyard and are planning our flowerbeds in our new garden space! We are so grateful for the Landscape Design Center. Rachael L2023-12-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't say enough about how wonderful it has been to work with Andrea and her team. We had a blank canvas to start and as an indecisive person her expertise and willingness to show samples and design ideas was incredibly helpful. We are also in a critical area, and she took care of all the county requirements and lead us through the process. She was extremely considerate and conscious of the budget as if it were her own. The team worked very quickly and there weren't any unexpected issues during the project. I would definitely recommend reaching out to them and they will be my first call for any future landscaping projects! Bradley Perseke2023-11-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They completely cleaned up and designed a natural landscape that will preserve our waterfront and prevent unwanted erosion. Very professional and a great crew. Highly recommend. Sarah Gamache Dunphy2023-10-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ana not only possesses extensive knowledge but also genuinely cares about her clients. Her recommendations and patient guidance reflect her dedication to ensuring the best results for her clients. Rob2023-10-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience with the Landscape Design Center. They complexly fixed my water drainage issues in my back yard with proper grading solutions. They also redesigned the yard and side entry way with a fresh appearance. Ana was a pleasure to work with and she walked me through every step of the project. Highly recommend!! Thanks again. Valerie B2023-10-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't thank Ana and her team enough for the incredible job that they did in fixing our landscaping project. They had an incredibly difficult task of fixing the mistakes of a previous contractor, helping us with permitting and pulling off making our yard a dream come true rather than a nightmare that it had become. Ana was so kind, patient, helpful and stayed on top of everything related to permitting for us. My only regret is that I didn't find Ana and the Landscape Design Center sooner. We would have saved a lot of time, money and aggravation if we had gone with them to begin with. Learn from our mistake and go with Landscape Design Center. Megan Cleveland2023-10-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was hoping they would be better than our last landscaping company that didn’t listen, especially for the price. They were worse because of the price and they still didn’t listen. I could of had our old landscaping company do the job for almost half of the $15,000 they charged us. They weren’t going to do some of the work that was in the contract. We had to remind them. Then, we found out that they still didn’t do some things in the contract. Our second most important thing was to trim/remove bushes and trees, but they only trimmed 3 of about 15 bushes. They didn’t put preen down like they said they would. Their communication was very poor once they got some of our money. They put a dumpster blocking access to our car garage for 4 1/2 days because they did not put it in the place that we had talked about putting it. They didn’t care. They made up excuses for charging us more because they didn’t know how to calculate how much it was going to take to do the job. Their excuse was, the weeds have grown a lot since they came to look at the property and gave us a quote. Any landscaping company should know that weeds will continue to grow over time and that you should calculate that in your quote. It’s not like we waited to except the quote and made them wait to do the job. We did our part and accepted the quote after a few clarification questions and allowed them to come do the job as quickly as they were able to. We asked them to do one extra thing and they found 3 extra things to do. $3000 to level 2 pavers in the walkway, take down and remove one very large broken tree limb, remove weeds from a hill, and remove weeds from a very small enclosed fence area. Finally, they did not finish removing the weeds from a different very large hill. I don’t understand how a landscaping company can remove weeds from a hill, only partially and leave the rest of the hill looking terrible. We had to make them come out and finish the hill.
