Lansing Sustainable Landscape
This property was design and installed in 2008. This is the first comprehensive Sustainable landscape in the State of Michigan. This comprehensive sustainable landscape features permeable paver driveway and walkway, porous concrete city sidewalk, large rain gardens, rain barrels, and recycled products such as recycled concrete for the base material and finished compost in the planting beds. Everything listed was installed over the course of 6 weeks and the homeowner has loved the fact that they have created a landscape that greatly helps the environment. This project was completed in the Old Westside Neighborhood by Sexton High School. As you can see in the pictures provided, we drastically changed the front of this home and the gardens have grown into very lush plantings. Specimen plants include (3) Weeping Alaskan Cedar, (1) Large Weeping White Pine, and (1) Weeping Beech. The plantings have created 4 season interest.
