Green thumbs make green landscapes

Recent drought and subsequent water restrictions have changed the way commercial landscapers approach their projects.

Dig It! Landscapes’ plant procurement manager, Jim Muldoon discusses just a couple of methods Dig-It staff employ to reduce water usage.

“Dig-It staff are trained in the expert application of garden mulch, which is used to reduce the amount of water that is lost through evaporation.

Another important element in water saving is choosing the right plants, natives tend to be the most drought tolerant.”

Sourcing high quality water is another important concern for commercial landscapers.

Managing Director, Greg Mann places high importance on using the best quality water for plant and turf growth without placing strain on town water supplies.

“Dig-It creates green, flourishing landscapes that don’t cost the earth through using high quality recycled water.”
