Composting & Environmental Landscaping
June 12, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Healthy soil is the foundation of successful landscaping projects, but it can also beneficially impact soil and water protection, which is becoming a more pertinent issue in project development.
In fact, soil restoration and improvement is at the core of low-impact development and green building standards, as outlined in the Sustainable SITES Initiative. Aside from greatly enhancing plant survival, improved soil quality enhances water infiltration (and conservation), climate protection, stormwater management, and our human and wildlife habitats.
“Soil and Site” best management practices (BMPs), like the compost-focused project specifications being taught in this webinar, are now required on various Missouri and regional projects. Soil decompaction and amendments assist with both stormwater management and flood protection.
These climate resilient techniques not only assure long-term project success, but can be used by a savvy practitioner to save money and time on a variety of land development projects.
