Sustainable Landscaping

Here at Pierre, we are focused on creating eco-friendly landscapes that not only conserve natural resources, but also save homeowners money by significantly decreasing the amount of their water bills. Below are systems and materials that we use to accomplish these sustainable landscapes.

Smart Controllers

  • reduces water 30-70%
  • Weather-based so your irrigation system waters only when the landscape requires it
  • Maximizes water efficiency by factoring in everything from soil type to the slope of your lawn to the amount of sun exposure different areas receive

Drip System Irrigation

  • High water application efficiency
  • Prevents water run-off that carries silt, animal feces, pesticides, and fertilizers onto adjoining property and into waterways
  • Prevents over-spray that can waste another 20% of the water
  • Reduce energy costs by operating at lower pressure
  • Prevents water from ending up on windows, fence, or stucco
  • Minimizes soil erosion
  • Lowers labor cost

Rotary Nozzles

  • Helps reduce water waste & limits irrigation run-off by using a low precipitation rate
  • Increases radius range, resulting in fewer zones and faster installations

Greywater

  • Wastewater is generated from domestic activities such as laundry, dishwashing, and bathing, which is then recycled on-site for use on landscape irrigation
  • According to studies, a typical household produces an average of 125 gallons of greywater per day
  • Reduces energy use and chemical pollution from treatment

Mulch

  • Reduces the need for watering by retaining moisture during dry weather
  • Reduces the need for cultivation and herbicides
  • Encouraging the growth of worms and other beneficial soil organisms
  • Enhances the overall appearance of your garden

LED Lighting

  • LED bulbs last up to 10 times as long as compact fluorescents, and far longer than typical incandescent lights
  • Because they are solid, LED bulbs are durable & hold up well to jarring & bumping
  • LED bulbs use only 2-10 watts of electricity
  • LED bulbs last for years, saving money in maintenance & replacement costs

Artificial Turf

  • No water use
  • No maintenance
  • 100% lead free
  • Drains 30% faster than real grass
  • Fire retardant
  • 20-25 year life expectancy
  • No harmful environment effects
  • Several different types to perfectly match your desired landscaping
  • Come from already recycled materials, and are 80-100% recyclable
