Sustainable landscaping means putting back much of what may have been in place before development. The scope of design of outdoor space may range from revegetation of a large bush block to the detailed design of small courtyard spaces. Ideally, these landscapes should maintain themselves and survive by being part of the natural cycles of the local environment. Sustainable landscaping is an approach to designing and constructing the artificial landscapes that surround our buildings, and improving the natural landscapes that already exist. The planning and design of outdoor space should be considered an integral part of your home’s sustainable design. Landscaping and garden design can simultaneously address aesthetics and amenity, water management, air quality, climate modification, biodiversity, habitat creation, and local food production - and can help to warm and cool your house. Understanding landscaping and garden design

Growing vegetables, herbs and fruit can reduce your environmental impact by reducing your reliance on food bought elsewhere, with associated use of water, energy and transport.

In bushfire-prone areas, you can reduce the fire risk for your home by choosing less flammable plants and landscaping elements, including gaps in plantings, and avoiding plants near windows.

Native and indigenous plants also usually have lower water requirements than exotics, thus reducing your water use.

Using native and indigenous plants in your garden will provide habitat for local species.

Minimising hard surfaces will reduce stormwater runoff from your site, and using mulch will reduce your garden’s water requirements.

If the site still has vegetation, keep as much growth as possible, especially trees which will take a long time to be replaced.

Sustainable landscaping aims to work with the natural landscape and cycles.
