The landscape that surrounds a home can make or break the aesthetic of its exterior. A home with dying plants and a dried out look can make even the most beautiful homes look drab. Fontana Landscaping has made beautifying outdoor gardens and landscapes our mantra for this very reason. Therefore, it\u2019s in our best interest to not only provide our customers with excellent landscape architecture and maintenance services, but also the expertise to allow you to cultivate the best home exterior possible. In this blog, we\u2019ll introduce the age old idea known as \u201cecological landscaping.\u201d Continue reading to learn how to utilize this concept to create a garden that\u2019s both easy to maintain and gorgeous. <\/span><\/p>\n Ecological Landscaping is based on the logical assumption that plants that are native to the area are going to grow best in your garden. For instance, if you live in a region with a tropical climate, plants that favor humidity and moist soil are going to grow best there. In dry, desert regions, plants that favor lots of sun and well-drained soil will thrive. Here in Vancouver, we\u2019re no stranger to cold winters and lovely moderate summers. Therefore, plants that love some rainfall and the perfect amount of sunshine, such as the beautiful Lewisia flower, will thrive in your garden. <\/span><\/p>\n Ecological Landscaping will make your garden look in tip top shape for two reasons. The first is that the plants are much less likely to die because they\u2019re in their native environment. So, say hello to blossoming flowers and vibrant green plants. The second is that the garden is more likely to blend in with the foliage surrounding it. Vancouver is known for it\u2019s lush green grasses and trees. Something that might fit in down in Southern California might stick out like a sore thumb here. Our landscapers are experts in helping you decide what would be best in your garden, so if you\u2019re feeling lost, give Fontana Landscaping a quick <\/span>call.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Maintaining a garden is anything but inexpensive. Between the cost of a good soil, the actual plants and seeds, a nice fertilizer, and everything else, the prices surrounding a nice garden can begin to add up. This price could be exponentially higher if you decide to grow and maintain plants that aren\u2019t exactly comfortable in your area. Not only will you have to constantly feed them with things to keep them alive, but you\u2019ll also have to put a lot of money into purchasing the necessary supplies. Because native plants grow naturally in the soil that you already have on your property, they\u2019re much less expensive to maintain and certainly just as pretty. <\/span><\/p>\n Fontana Landscaping has a team of talented landscapers who can help you start the garden you\u2019ve always dreamed of. Whether or not you think Ecological Landscaping is for you, make sure to give us a call and we\u2019ll get your garden growing as soon as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Learn How to Perfect Your Home Exterior with Ecological Landscaping The landscape that surrounds a home can make or break the aesthetic of its exterior.
