LANDSCAPE BUDGETS
Economics and Budgets
Many factors influence the design, installation, and ongoing maintenance of landscaping in both public and private green spaces. Not surprisingly, the purpose or function of the site is a major determinant in the choice of materials and shrubs/ground cover. The cost of purchasing and upkeep are scrutinized very closely today. Inexpensive plant materials often seem, at first, like the most logical choice. Despite the initial economy of the purchase, they are not necessarily the most cost effective choices in the long run, because it is hard to justify expensive maintenance for a low cost planting. The result is an area that is over grown all too soon. Another possible means of meeting budgetary restraints is the use of low maintenance plants. Indigenous materials are often the choice, yet, even indigenous plants must be sited in locations that meet their specific requirements. In short, the truly economical choice is the plant that is viable in the long term, taking into consideration the cost of herbicides, pesticides, and the resulting impact on maintenance costs.
