ROI Calculation
Landscaping significantly impacts human and pet health, the environment, and public infrastructure. It also impacts our budgets! The lush, leafy, low-water Authentic Foothill Gardens at Sierra Madre City Hall generate significant savings over a traditional landscape, gravelscape, or synthetic lawn.
Savings can include:
- 100 percent of the annual flower budget
- 100 percent of the toxic chemical fertilizer budget
- 100 percent of the toxic chemical pesticide budget
- 100 percent of soil amendment budget
- 81 percent of the time spent on maintenance
- 75 percent of the funds used for mower petrol
- 60-80 percent of the water previously needed
- 63 percent of fees associated with garden waste
- 15-50 percent of the energy dedicated to climate control
