5 Ways to Go 'Green' With Your Lawn ? Main Street Real Estate

Main Street Real Estate Vancouver

As Vancouver endeavors to become the ?Greenest City by 2020? there are many things we as individuals can do to help along the way. If you have a lawn around your Main Street real estate, consider using ?green? practices to keep it green.

Fortunately (and unfortunately) it rains a lot in Vancouver, so keeping our lawns green is not as hard as some areas of the world, but when summer sets in, here are some practices from Better Homes and Gardens to maintain a ?greener? approach:

Plan
In order to have environmentally friendly landscaping, it is important to take the appropriate steps.

Water
Develop your landscaping to use water efficiently. This practice is referred to as ?Xeriscape,? and is pronounced ?Zera-scape.? Xeriscaping refers to creating a landscape that limits the need for irrigation.

Proper Planting
In order to be certain your plants are resistant to drought, insects and others issues, soil preparation is essential.

Appropriate Maintenance
Once you?ve utilized the appropriate soil and properly established your plants, you still have to consider the ongoing water needed to sustain them.

Use Organics
Due to their limited impact on the soil, environment and household pets, organic fertilizers are becoming increasingly popular.
