Smart Irrigation and Sustainable Landscaping: Reducing Costs and Conserving Water

As environmental awareness and climate concerns grow, maintaining a sustainable company image has never been more critical. Landscaping plays a key role in shaping that image. Sustainable commercial landscaping and maintenance practices not only support environmental health but also enhance a company’s reputation and brand identity. However, true sustainability in landscaping is impossible without efficient irrigation. Inefficient irrigation wastes valuable water resources. The challenge lies in effectively watering and maintaining a commercial landscape to keep it visually appealing without over-saturating, which leads to wasted water and higher costs. 

More than ever, commercial companies are reducing water costs and wasteful runoff with smart irrigation technology, and sustainable landscaping practices and products that are proven to be cost-neutral, when compared to water cost savings. 

Sustainable commercial landscaping is typically designed and maintained with the following in mind: 

  • Native and drought resistant plantings that are adapted to a local climate have evolved to survive droughts and require little to no water. Planting a landscape with these hardy specimens instead of non-native, non-renewable plants will most definitely conserve precious water. 
  • Use of rocks, gravel and pebbles in landscape design allows rainwater to filter down into the soil instead of running off into storm drains, an important part of water conservation.  
  • Smart irrigation sensors and controllers can determine precisely how much water is needed in the root system deep beneath the ground surface. Rain sensors will know not to water when it rains, preventing unhealthy oversaturation and wasteful runoff. 

Today’s smart irrigation technology reduces water usage and waste, so is highly cost effective. It utilizes cloud-based real-time weather data, and site-specific conditions to keep plants hydrated and healthy, as opposed to traditional, manually programmed irrigation that can oversaturate soil and result in costly runoff.
