A properly designed landscape will save you much headache, time and resources, requiring much less maintenance and  future cost replacements 3.       **Build a diverse healthy soil environment.** A Healthy soil is a Happy soil, by Incorporating organic components into the soil promotes a healthy sustainable landscape providing a safe guard to drought, harmful pest and disease. 4.       ** [Recycle Green Waste](https://blog.floraterra.com/sustainable-landscaping-services-san-francisco-bay-area).** Reducing green waste such as lawn mower clippings and excess trimmings that would otherwise be sent to a local bay area landfill. Recycling nutrients through composting and grass cycling (grass recycling) reduces the need for pesticides and additional nitrogen based fertilizer. 5.       **Attract Nature.** Studies have shown alarming declines in some song bird species and other wildlife affected by urban development. By providing food, cover, and water, property owners can make a significant impact in the survival and health of nature’s wild life. 6.       **Reduce runoff with storm water.** By managing storm water runoff, responsible property owners can help prevent ground water pollution and erosion control,. Keeping storm water on-site contains groundwater supplies and can benefit natural habitats. ## Get our FREE Sustainable Landscaping Guide Below  [![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/345318/f105af5a-c01b-4803-a973-4e71cd28e2a0.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/345318/f105af5a-c01b-4803-a973-4e71cd28e2a0) ## [**Commercial Landscape Contractor**](http://floraterra.com/Landscape-Maintenance-Contractor-San-Jose-More.asp) FloraTerra  is a Leading HOA and [Apartment Landscaping Company](http://www.floraterra.com/hoa-apartment-condo-landscaping-more.asp) in the bay area , providing a complete range of landscaping services, including sustainable landscape improvements for Shopping Centers, [**Retail Mall Landscape Company**](http://www.floraterra.com/Retail-Centers-Malls-Landscape-Management-San-Jose-CA.asp), R & D Developments, Luxury Apartment Landscaping, Residential Estate Landscaping, Home Owners Association Landscaping, Condominium Developments and [**Commercial Office Park Landscaping**](http://floraterra.com/Commercial-Office-Landscape-Management-More.asp), Corporate Campus Landscaping.
