Sustainable Landscaping
The City is creating a cleaner, greener and quieter future through initiatives that support green infrastructure, pollinator habitat creation and protection of local biodiversity.
Building on these efforts, the City is transitioning to zero-emission outdoor power equipment (ZEOPE), adopting electric leaf blowers, lawn mowers, and manual tools like rakes.
A hardy ground cover, white clover (Trifolium repens), enriches soil by fixing nitrogen, reducing the need for fertilizers, and requires less water than traditional grass, providing nectar for pollinators.
- However, white clover is non-native.
- It is less tolerant of heavy foot traffic.
- It may require reseeding every few years.
Xeriscaping is a landscaping method that uses drought-resistant plants to create visually appealing gardens that require minimal watering, conserving water and ideal for dry areas.
By selecting plants suited to dry conditions, xeriscaping is a solution for areas where watering is difficult.
