Ecoscaping

Ecoscaping is a spatial planning discipline that integrates landscape architecture and environmental science to create sustainable designs or construction.

Landscape architecture
Ecoscaping integrates architectural planning and effective use of resources

The approach of Ecoscaping is holistic and strives to respect the pre-existing materials, microenvironments, and structures (backyards, cities, campuses, etc.) in sustainable land use management with ecological balance.[1]

Process edit

Ecoscaping searches for solutions to improve the look of a property while making minimal impact on the surrounding environment, protecting biodiversity and wildlife habitats, achieving nature conservation and ecological balance.[1]

Examples of Ecoscaping techniques include:

  • Using natural products instead of artificial decoration
  • Planting trees and minimizing the use of pesticides and artificial fertilizers
  • Creating out-buildings, decks, trellises, etc. that work in with the land.
  • Rainwater harvesting
  • Creating a self-contained water reservoir for water balance.

Significance edit

Ecoscaping is a process of building and rebuilding based on nature, sustainable development, and human aesthetics. Ecoscaping provides an alternative to harsh land use practices with ecologically adverse effects, such as impervious surfaces, soil compaction, contamination, and urban sprawl.
