Low-maintenance landscapes present a challenge for material choices. This session will discuss what is effective for material choice for public projects and other low-maintenance environments, along with the sustainability behind material choices. We will also discuss successful detailing with reused or recycled materials in public spaces.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Examine successful examples of innovative hardscape and softscape for public projects with low-maintenance environments.
  • Discuss the sustainable sourcing and environmental cost behind material selection, along with options and processes for selecting and sourcing sustainable materials.
  • Look at examples of successfully reused or recycled materials in publicly accessible space.
  • Gain insight into the value of material choice for both project longevity and larger global sustainability goals.
