SMART LANDSCAPE DESIGNS IMPROVE YOUR SITE AND YOUR BOTTOM LINE.
Landscape architecture blends the beauty of fine art with the mechanics of science. It endeavors to create outdoor environments that are attractive and enjoyable, as well as functional. Taking a holistic approach to design, landscape architects apply their knowledge of geography, horticulture, hydrology, ecology, engineering, and art to develop solutions that benefit both humans and the environment.
At Lutjen, we strive to work in harmony with nature to create landscapes that are not only beautiful, but also environmentally friendly, easy to maintain, and economical.
Strategies include:
- Using indigenous plants, which are accustomed to the local climate and soil, to lessen the need for supplemental nutrients.
- Placing plants appropriately to promote healthy vegetation, thereby lessening the need for replacements.
- Grouping plants with similar moisture needs to conserve water.
- Using bioswales to improve site drainage, thereby reducing storm water runoff and soil erosion.
- Creating landscapes around buildings to improve heating efficiency and save energy.
The landscape designs created by Lutjen incorporate plantings, hardscapes, and architectural elements to give you solutions that are both visually appealing and practical.
