Green Landscape Design Landscape design is the conceptual creation of a landscape. This is the ideal time to consider the social and ecological impacts of the planned landscape, and the impacts of the practices and products used to create and maintain them. If you truly desire a low maintenance, organically maintained landscape this is where it begins. Much of the success of the planned organic landscape depends on how well the vegetation has been matched to the unique conditions and the desired functions of the site. Landscape design requires the integration of knowledge from many different disciplines, and a thorough understanding of local conditions. This approach allows a naturally balanced ecosystem to emerge and be easily organically maintained. Design considerations include: microclimates light conditions soil properties wind patterns and air circulation temperature range moisture characteristics condition of existing vegetation and wildlife physical limitations of the site relationship of the site to its environment intended use for the site cultural and space requirements of desired plants products and practices to install and maintain the landscape. Part of the landscape design process is the development of a landscape management plan, which outlines the design objectives and the practices and products that will be employed to achieve these objectives.
