Creating a Self-Sustaining Garden is the new Landscaping

Do you have a vision for what your frontyard/backyard looks like? There are so many ways you can go about it.

Instead of the standard grass field, and the extra cost to maintain them, i.e. mowing, fertilizers, water usage - you can incorporate a mixture of systems, that will not only make your backyard/frontyard visually appealing but it can also self-sustain itself.
