ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
-Less pollution: Did you know that lawnmowers produce up to 10x more pollution than vehicles?
-No need for fertilization: Reduces nitrates entering our groundwater, which cause cancer and other health issues.
-Water Conservation: Northern Nevada is a high desert climate with an annual rainfall of only 7 inches per year and Lake Tahoe serving as our primary water source. Since water in our region is a precious and limited resource, it is extremely important to use water conservatively and responsibly.
The average lawn uses approx. 41,500 gallons of water each year.
(Conservation landscaping with Hardscape saves 50%-70% of your residential water usage.)
Saving water also saves energy! Energy is used to treat and pump water through distribution systems into our homes.
