Landscaping is a complex topic with several controversial issues, including the use of pesticides and herbicides, whether to use native or exotic plants, the environmental impact of lawns, the use of artificial turf, and organic landscaping methods. People are divided on each of these topics, with some arguing for and others against their use in landscaping, based on safety and effectiveness, environmental impact, and sustainability.

Many towns and cities are turning to the landscaping industry to help reduce air pollution and become greener, primarily by prohibiting the use of gas-powered landscaping equipment in favor of battery-powered outdoor power equipment. This shift is beneficial in terms of emissions, energy efficiency, and cost savings, as well as being quieter for residential areas. The transition to battery-powered outdoor power equipment is a positive step for both the environment and the landscaping industry.

Landscaping is one of the most popular ways to improve the aesthetic of a home or commercial property, adding value and making it look more attractive. There are many different trends to choose from, such as edible landscaping, native plantings, vertical gardening, rain gardens, and smart irrigation systems. By keeping up with the latest trends, you can ensure that your landscape looks its best and is both sustainable and efficient.
