ASLA has released the results of its second national survey on client demand for landscape architecture solutions to climate change.

Reclamation Land encourages land friendly, long term solutions to improve whatever property you have.

1) drip irrigation (reduces water loss by 40%)
2) xeriscaping
3) hugel culture
4) soil improvement

We also feel that as construction managers, landscape designers, planters, etc., we must reject the old standards of scrape the land and cover with rock, i.e. asphalt, concrete, "permeable" concrete, hostile landscape design, and putting mature trees.
With climate change, we may never see 200 year old trees again. Or 50 yr old trees.

Reclamation Land crew working on impossible conditions and making a difference! The first 3 months of the year were spent fighting mud, bad management, bad weather...but in the end, it was beautiful. Subscribe to our channel on You Tube for construction, sustainability, and planting suggestions!

Of all the grass option lawns, AJUGA is one of my favorites. Little blue flowers in the spring, close growing leaves of deep blue, green or variegate.
You can mow it and walk on it. Tough and beautiful, a lawn for all seasons.

ReclamationLand's specialist, Jennavive, installing a much needed subsurface drip system in a client's back yard.

I am really urging ppl to Xeriscape yards, and conserve water with drip systems rather than the conventional irrigation practice. Drip Systems reduce water use by 40%.
