Edlund Associates, Inc., promotes sustainable landscapes. We strive to preserve and protect existing trees, soil, and other materials on-site where possible. Unusable materials are recycled. We create healthy root zones for trees and plants to provide adequate drainage, oxygen, transfer, and nutrients. Healthy soil produces healthy plants and reduces runoff to protect water quality for people, fish, and wildlife. We advocate the use of native plants whenever possible to provide biodiversity, wildlife habitat, and water conservation. We choose the right plant for the right place to minimize the long-term maintenance hassles of overgrown plants. We design our irrigation systems to be as efficient as possible to conserve our precious water resources. We use only Organic or Slow-Release Fertilizers on our projects. Pesticides are used only when necessary as part of a best management practices approach to weed and insect control. |
