SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPE DESIGN FOR YOUR BALCONY & PORCH!
Sustainable landscape design for your balcony & porch refers to well thought out design. It aims to remove negative impacts on the environment. Be it the types of materials used to create landscapes to the types of plants kept, to the landscape, and to the lighting provided.
It can be a product that uses eco- friendly packing, a business that has a recycling program, or a house that uses energy-saving and water-saving systems.
But in terms of landscape design, have you learned about sustainability? We will explain below how you can incorporate these for landscape design for your balcony & patio as well:
Patio
Let’s look at it from a patio point first. If there is a concrete patio, rainwater hits the surface and flows into the main drains. This can block the main drains, and pollute the water. However, a more sustainable solution is provided by pavers. In a patio made of pavers, rainwater can flow through the joints, with a gravel base. This can filter out pollutants before the water is drained back into the ground.
Plants
Sustainable landscape design for your balcony & porch favors native plants from a plant perspective-those that grow naturally in your region. For people living in New Delhi for example, Bougainvillea, Marigold, Rose, to name a few. Since these plants have already adapted to your climate, their non-native counterparts require less water and artificial pesticides.
Lighting
LED lights can consume substantially less energy than fluorescent light sources. While this saves monthly cost to homeowners lighting their driveway and walkways, it also turns into reduced carbon in the air. LED landscape lights often reduce the use of harmful chemicals used in other light sources.
