Green Solutions

Beautiful Green Solutions don’t cost---they pay! Long-term, you or your
company will save money and resources. Environmentally sound landscapes improve employee morale and productivity and provide
a strategic advantage in your sales and marketing. Curb appeal attracts customers and home buyers.
Green solutions
can solve problems and will provide multiple benefits, such as:
- Cleaner
air and water
- Energy reduction and conservation
- Lower maintenance costs
- Improved
aesthetics and usability
- Increased property values
The best way to comprehend what a green solution is may be is to understand what it is
not. For example, typical urban landscape solutions involve a lot of hardscape: concrete channels to realign and “tame”
wet weather streams. Or severe terracing that takes stormwater away from one property—but creates a bigger problem downstream.
Green solutions, on the other hand work to replicate nature. They can be used by themselves and also in concert with well-designed
traditional concepts. Some of the green solutions that Embassy specializes in are rain gardens, bioswales, green roofs and
walls, permeable pavement and native planting.
