Why use an ECLIPs member?
By selecting an ECLIPs member you not only get a great garden, but you can rest assured that you have made a positive contribution to the health of our environment. ECLIPs members have an understanding of natural systems. They understand the geology, climate, soils, plants and ecology. They combine this knowledge when designing , constructing and maintaining landscapes. An ECLIPs member differs from a conventional landscaper through the techniques and products used, striving to create and maintain gardens in an environmentally responsible way.
The goal is not only to enhance the site but improve it for both yourself and wildlife. ECLIPs members will build healthy soil and choose plants that will grow and thrive in the conditions on your site.
