Paver Stones: A Sustainable Alternative to Traditional Paving

Paver stones are a popular choice for patios, walkways, and driveways because they’re durable, versatile, and easy to maintain. But did you know that they’re also a sustainable option? Here’s why:

• Low maintenance: Paver stones don’t require frequent sealing or resurfacing, reducing the need for harmful chemicals and resources.
• Permeable: Permeable paver stone installations allow rainwater to percolate through the gaps, reducing stormwater runoff and help recharge groundwater aquifers.
• Recyclable: Many paver stones are made from recycled materials and can be reused or repurposed at the end of their life cycle.

Synthetic Lawns: An Eco-Friendly Alternative to Water Hungry Traditional Grass

Synthetic lawns, also known as artificial turf, have come a long way in recent years. They’re no longer the fake-looking, plastic-y surfaces of yesteryear. Modern synthetic lawns are designed to mimic the look and feel of real grass, but with a fraction of the environmental impact. Here’s why:

• Money Saving: Synthetic lawns require zero watering, making them an attractive option for homeowners who want to lower their monthly water bill.
• Low maintenance: Synthetic lawns don’t need mowing, fertilizing, or pest control, reducing the need for harmful chemicals and resources.
• Durable: Synthetic lawns can withstand heavy foot traffic and extreme weather conditions, making them a great option for families with kids or pets.

Other Green Hardscape and Landscape Ideas

• Native plants: Plants that are native to your region require less water, fertilizers, and pest control, and support local biodiversity.
• Mulch: Mulches are made from organic materials such as leaves, wood chips, pine needles, grass clippings, and compost. They not only help improve soil quality but also promote biodiversity.
• Decorative Stones: The shapes, sizes, and textures of decorative rocks can create natural beauty to your landscape, reducing the need to utilize products to enhance the look and negatively affect the environment.
