More homeowners want sustainable, low-maintenance landscapes than exotic plants or built-in fireplaces this year, according to a survey from the American Society of Landscape Architects.
The 10 most-requested projects and products, according the survey, are: native plants; drought-tolerant plants; vegetable gardens; fire pits and fireplaces; low-maintenance landscapes; permeable paving; water-efficient irrigation; rain gardens; lighting; and rainwater or graywater harvesting.
