Creating and maintaining a climate-resilient yard, growing your own groceries and landscaping with battery-powered tools are three ways to save money on your eco-friendly outdoor space.

Native plants or climate-appropriate plants are ideally suited to designing a landscape for water efficiency because they’ve adapted to their local soil and their roots are adjusted to the natural weather patterns. And by saving water, you in turn save money.

A few really big trends in gardening right now are planter boxes and container gardening. Not everyone has a ton of space to grow food, but it is doable. Whether you have a large yard for a full garden, a small patio space or just a windowsill, you can grow your own food, which will help reduce your grocery bill.

Switch from gasoline-powered tools to battery-powered tools to reduce your impact on the environment and invest in quality so that you only have to pay the one-time, upfront cost versus the cost to replace, maintain and refuel throughout the seasons.
