Environmental Benefits of Healthy Landscapes
When you look at beautiful and thriving landscaping, you think about it in terms of purely aesthetic appeal. It looks beautiful, so naturally, it boosts the property value; no matter if the property is commercial or residential, both can make people feel more welcome and so much more. But did you know that there are environmental benefits to landscaping too?
All too often, landscaping is discussed by ill-informed but well-meaning people, but too much of this information is not correct and sadly lacking in scientific evidence. We find that there is a great deal of misinformation floating around pertaining to landscaping and the environment.
Healthy Lawns and Landscapes Improve Air Quality
There has been some recent talk about getting rid of lawns; however, the truth is that lawns are environmentally friendly. Turfgrass, specifically, has unique and important benefits that are often overlooked. A massive one is its ability to improve the surrounding air quality. Natural lawns can help to purify the air.
Healthy Lawns and Landscapes Regulate Temperature
Green space is important also to help regulate the temperature of the surrounding environment. Turfgrass has been proven to be much cooler than cement or asphalt and acts like a natural “air conditioner” for the environment around it. It has also been proven that lawns are often 20 degrees cooler than the surrounding asphalt or hardscapes.
Healthy Lawns and Landscapes Reduce Soil Erosion and Prevent Runoff
Both soil erosion and potential wastewater runoff are major concerns when it comes to thinking about how to make a property more environmentally friendly. And landscapes and healthy lawns can both play a positive role in this.
