Vegetable Gardens
At V&F Landscape, we believe that we shouldn’t only be growing ornamental gardens; we can transform our backyards into urban homesteads. While many home food gardens have disappeared, the time is right to consider the benefits of growing your own food – it’s not only nutritious and environmentally-friendly, but fresh produce is only steps away!
Some of the incredible benefits:
- food is much fresher
- food is much tastier
- no chemical spraying
- no genetic modification
- increase food security
- increase genetic diversity
- lower your food bill
- lower your carbon footprint
Permeable Pavers
Unilock “Eco”products have an increased joint spacing which allows rapid rainwater infiltration.
Benefits of permeable paving
- reduced stromwater load
- eliminates thermal pollution of streams and rivers
- filters contaminants form water naturally
- replenishes the water table-important for trees
- enables rainwater to be easily harvested for later use.
Rainwater harvesting
Rainwater collection systems makes dollars & “sense”:
- Reduce water bills
- Alleviate demand on municipal systems
- Avoid strict watering schedules
Better solution for your landscape than municipally treated water:
- Rainwater is extremely rich in nutrients
- Using rainwater to irrigate reduces fertilizer use
- No chemicals have been added to rainwater
