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 provides nectar for pollinators.

Xeriscaping is a landscaping method that uses drought-resistant plants to create visually appealing gardens that require minimal watering, ideal for dry areas where watering is difficult.
