Sustainable landscape installations integrate function, attractiveness, and energy- and water- conservation elements, as well as other criterias established by the client or the special conditions of the site itself. Sustainable landscaping includes reuse of green waste as fertilizer and mulch, and low maintenance requirements.

Calculating the volume of water (design capacity) and the available working pressure is essential to the process of designing a landscape irrigation system. The design capacity of an irrigation system is the maximum volume of water, in gallons per minute (GPM), available for use in the system. This volume determines how many sprinkler heads can be operated at one time.

Information needed for designating an irrigation system:

· Location and size of the property
· Map of the property's boundaries
· Information about the soil types found throughout the property
· topographic survey of the property
· Location, quantity, quality and availability of the water source
· Information on the location and availability of the energy source energy source

The irrigation system will be assembled from highly durable, water-conserving components. Water will be applied only where and when it is needed. Turf will be irrigated by means of underground tubing to prevent evaporation losses. Shrubs and trees will be irrigated at their stem and root zones with bubblers.
A pleasant landscape environment improves productivity and provides enjoyable outdoor places to relax, eat, talk, or work. The landscape design can support efficient pedestrian and vehicle circulation, provide screens from wind and unpleasant views, and other auxiliary functions to support the needs of the building users. Sun and shade areas will be developed for outdoor activities.
