 Landscape Design for IPM and Low Maintenance
Unfortunately, maintenance of the landscape is often assumed or overlooked during the planning and design phase of a project and therefore little consideration is given to ensuring the landscape can be maintained using cost-effective and environmentally sound maintenance practices.
Costly and undesirable maintenance practices and the need for site modifications can be minimized or avoided by including maintenance considerations and the use of IPM throughout the planning and design phase of a landscape development project.
Regarding configuration, landscapes should be designed to allow for the access and aid the maneuverability of maintenance equipment (e.g., acute angles should be avoided in turf areas; wide angles, gentle, sweeping curves, and straight lines are much easier to mow).
