Landscape Planning

Landscape Planning Division

Well-designed landscapes add value to your property, your project and to the community. Great outdoor spaces encourage people to interact, walk or just enjoy the benefits of being outdoors. Landscaping especially large trees contribute to energy efficiency, moderate climate, improve air quality, reduce stormwater runoff and create habitat for wildlife. Air conditioning and heating costs are lower in homes shaded by trees or when a home has a windbreak. Property values of landscaped homes are generally 5-20% higher than non-landscaped homes. Investing in quality landscape provides many aesthetic benefits to the property owner as well as the community.
