Appendix H: Landscaping Guidance/Plant Lists
For areas that are to be planted within a stormwater pond, it is necessary to determine what type of hydrologic zones will be created within the pond. The following six zones describe the different conditions encountered in stormwater management facilities. Every facility does not necessarily reflect all of these zones. Each zone has its own set of plant selection criteria based on the hydrology of the zone, the stormwater functions required of the plant and the desired landscape effect. Key landscaping objectives for Zone 5 are to stabilize the steep slopes characteristic of this zone, and establish a low maintenance, natural vegetation. Rather, plant selections should be made based on soil condition, light, and function within the landscape. Ground covers should emphasize infrequent mowing to reduce the cost of maintaining this landscape. The mulch layer should

Landscaping with plants which are both attractive and food producing is gaining in popularity. As with any landscape design process, the ultimate goals should be the definition of space and the enhancement of land for human use. Landscape Characteristics Productive plants are no different from their ornamental counterparts in that they may be classified by size, notable visual characteristics, and potential function in landscape planting. Figures 1, 2, and 3 classify productive plants according to size, landscape value, and potential use for special landscape effects. A truly productive landscape yields quantities of produce appropriate to meet the needs of the consumer continu-ously throughout the growing season. Fruit plants classified according to interesting landscape value. Continuity of production throughout the season is the other critical factor
A parcel's landscaped area shall be calculated as a percentage of impervious cover. Any tree not on the tree list will be estimated by the Director using standard landscaping references. Undeveloped portions of a tract or lot shall not be considered landscaped, except as specifically approved by the Director. Landscaping provided to meet this Section may be applied to the site landscaping requirements. The landscaping required within buffer yards shall be provided in addition to the site landscaping required in Section 8.02. The landscape buffer area shall be landscaped and maintained with at least 80% live vegetative coverage excluding the area required for driveways, sidewalks, bicycle paths, and drainage features. A. Landscape Plan Requirements The applicant or an authorized agent must submit and receive approval of a landscape plan demonstrating compliance with
These landscaping standards are intended to provide a means for alleviating erosion, siltation, and other harmful effects of land-disturbing activities on neighboring land and streams by ensuring that the owner of the property on which land-disturbing activities are to be carried out provides adequate controls on erosion and sedimentation, and takes necessary The three types of development that are regulated by landscaping standards include existing development, proposed development and sites in the process of a land use change. D. LANDSCAPING shall refer to any combination of living plants (such as grass, ground cover, shrubs, vines, hedges or trees) and nonliving landscape material (such as rocks, pebbles, sand, mulch, walls, fences or decorative paving materials). G. Areas surrounding trees in all landscape buffers must be landscaped with grass, ground cover
Landscaping and Irrigation
Know the limits for landscape watering for your community during times of drought. NO landscape irrigation is essential in severe droughts! Use screened rain barrels to collect rainwater from rooftops, then use collected water to water plant, shrubs or other landscape. LANDSCAPES When planning for landscaping, the choices made in site orientation, plant selection and irrigation system configuration all impact the amount of water necessary for sustaining the plantings. Naturescaping is a process of using native plants for landscaping. For a list of North Carolina native plants, see http://www.sustainablenc.org/thewaytogo/main/ naturescaping.htm . Plan your landscape so that plants with similar needs are planted together. Planning Irrigation Systems Select proper equipment for automatic irrigation systems, considering the soil type and the landscape to be irrigated.

Yvonne Carree Barkley, Chris Schnepf, and W. Michael Colt Towns and cities are spreading into the surrounding countryside as more and more people move out to the woods. If you live on forested property, or are consid-ering building there, you are part of the growing wildland-urban interface - where the urban environ-ment meets the wild. Idaho is part of a large area of the United States with fire-based ecosystems. Fire has been a natural part of our ecological history, and will continue to be so. Landscape materials.

NoCst FireSafe Plants 7-04
Most of us create landscapes around our homes that are aesthetically pleasing or to attract desirable fauna such as birds and butterflies. If you live in or near a forest or rangeland, there are other factors worth considering such as plant flammability, and whether they can stand up to wildlife such as deer. The following are some general characteristics to consider when designing and/or maintaining your fire-safe landscape. Design Tips/Considerations Group plants of similar height and water requirements to create a "landscape mosaic" that can slow the spread of fire and use water most efficiently.

The use of native plants in landscaping is a celebration of our natural heritage and an awakening of a land ethic first expressed by Aldo Leopold more than 50 years ago. Native plants have many inherent qualities and adaptive traits that make them aesthetically pleasing, practical, and ecologically valuable for landscaping. Landscaping with natives in an urban setting helps restore regional charac-ter and places fewer demands on resources. Natives are plants that evolved in place over geologic time and are distributed across the landscape largely in response to climatic episodes and adaptation to site conditions related to land formation. To be more precise, natives are natural elements of a regional landscape. Instead, many regions look the same because overuse of the same exotics has created a monotonous, predictable landscape.

1. Landscaping in public areas of Banff National Park should be dominated by native plants and demonstrate a landscaping aesthetic that celebrates and promotes, rather than replaces, the native diversity of this part of Canada. 2. Low maintenance landscaping is considered environmentally responsible and should be promoted over landscaping that requires regular watering, mowing, trimming or chemical inputs. 3. Parks Canada projects, and reclamation associated with any landscape-disturbing activities outside the town of Banff, are required to use only preferred (native) plant species and minimize turf areas. Personal gardens and human built landscapes are entry points for many kinds of non-native plants. authorize relocation of native plants within Banff National Park as a part of environmental mitigation of approved landscape-disturbing projects.

Landscaping projects in urban, low-income neighborhoods have produced a continuing history of amelioration, reduction in vandalism, and healing. Charles A. Lewis, research fellow in Horticulture at Morton Arboretum, has studied the effects of plants and landscaping on people in various communities--neighborhoods, housing projects, prisons--over a 30-year period. In a paper published in The Role of Horticulture in Human Well-Being and Social Development, Lewis concluded that when horticultural programs are implemented in those communities, the landscaping process makes an enormous difference in how members feel about themselves, and the area in which they reside. The New York City Housing Authority was one of the first to institute a tenant landscaping competition among residents of high-rise public housing in 1962. The Authority provided materials and horticultural
