As Florida’s population continues to grow, new construction is breaking ground every day. The decisions associated with these projects will have a significant and long-term impact on the availability and quality of Florida’s water supply. Residential builders and community developers have the potential to significantly conserve and improve the quality of Florida’s water resources by making more resource-efficient landscape design, construction, and management choices.
The Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Program has staff and resources available to help builders and developers create vibrant communities and protect the environment with sustainable landscape and green infrastructure design techniques.
