Sustainable Landscape Refurbishment – A Change Initiative

“Maintenance pays big dividends” having this in mind, together we can add positive points to eco budget, which in turn can become a huge saving – every small initiative matters and is accountable.

As we know the landscape is dynamic (changes with time and space) and natural processes are closely associated with it, landscape refurbishment is a way to monitor, record, analyze and respond on time to preserve the environment. Dynamism may affect the character and appearance of landscapes as living entities will show growth like softscape elements (trees, shrubs, grass), and hardscape materials (stones, cladding) gets aged and fade. Another factor affecting landscape dynamism over the course of time is the weather and environmental pollution - a result of land and atmosphere interaction.
