NatureScapes are Florida-Friendly landscapes that provide habitat for native and migratory wildlife, conserve water and minimize the use of common pollutants such as fertilizers and pesticides. More than 50% of our potable water is used on our landscapes. Using natives and using alternatives to sod help to reduce this negative environmental impact.
