here Bay-Friendly Landscape Guidelines are written for the professional landscape industry to offer an integrated approach to environmentally friendly landscaping. The Guidelines are organized around seven principles for protecting the environment. By viewing the landscape through the lens of these seven principles, we can see it in a different light, such as how plant selection can create or decrease waste or how soil preparation can prevent or increase runoff.There are ffty-fve practices listed under these seven principles.The practices themselves each include many examples of applications. The applications are meant to be a starting point but are not meant to be comprehensive. It is likely that there are many additional applications for each. to information in these Guidelines provided for consideration by idscape professionals in the arse of designing, constructing d maintaining new or exiriing rdscapes. It is presented as a blic service by the Alameda >unty Waste Management and ~.cyding Board in an attempt to aport environmental benefits and jute costs. The practices in these idelines are strictly for use on a luntary basis. They are not a ~stitute for the exercise of sound Igment in particular circum- nces and are not intended as ommendations for particular proaucu or services. On the other hand, some of the practices are repeated under different principles because one practice can be integral to more than one principle. In other words, there are a number of critical practices that can protect the environment in more than one way. Using mulch, for example, reduces waste, nurtures the soil, conserves water, and creates wildlife habitat The Bay-Friendly principles, practices, and applications included in these Guidelines were selected with guidance from landscape architects and designers, contractors, and experts in the many fields represented in these Guidelines, as well as representatives from local public agencies and the staff of StopWaste.Org.
