INCIDENT RUN LOG Thursday, December 28, 2017 Town Board Room * located behind the main Town Hall building next to the Justice Courts (building with the blue roof)* The meeting for this week has been canceled.. This agenda is subject to change. Ronald W. Nesbitt, Town Supervisor 1000 Ridge Road, Webster, NY 14580; 585-872-7068; www.ci.webster.ny.us t Sustainabili Than a F The search for sustainabilily is creep- ing into all corners of our lives, not the least of which is our landscaping. Dave Dailey, president of Bircherest Tree & Landscape, says that's because living plants lend themselves to sustainability better than inanimate environments. The Cambridge dictionary defines sustainability as the ability to contin- ue at a particular level for a period of time. Applied to landscapes, Dailey says, sustainability is the ability of an environment to remain diverse and pro- ductive indefinitely. Dailey says that creating a sustain- able landscape begins with you decid- ing to work with Mother Nature rather than trying to have your own way. She always wins out in the end. Start your cooperative venture by selecting the right plants for the right places. If the plants are happy with their locations, they'll grow with minimum mainte- nance. Dailey notes that nursery tags on plants communicate their site require- ments. Also do some research and avoid thcise prone to insects and diseases. Of- ten, that means selecting native plants or introduced plants that have adapted well to our area. These plants have also adapted to the water that nature pro- vides, except in times of extreme weath- er conditions, such as drought. Turfgrass is, arguably, the thirstiest plant in any landscape. It requires the most maintenance as well. That's quite the opposite from sustainable, and iCs why an increasing number of people nationwide are replacing all or part of their lawns with beds of less thirsty plants that require less maintenance. Some western states, where water 'is scarce, have actually paid residents to y: It's More uzzword replace their lawns with more sustain- able plants. When planting new beds or refurbishing existing beds, Dailey recommends 'installing plants closer together. This will cut down on weed growth and reduce the need for pruning and the need to constantly replenish mulch. Remember, though, that plants grow so be careful not to plant them too close together.- Be cognizant of companion plants when designing your sustainable land- scape, Dailey says. Certain plhnts grow well together while others are mortal enemies. Check with a horticulturist at your garden store when buying plants to be sure they're compatible. Finally, don't forget the hardscape. Sustainability includes recycling or repurposing hardscape items, such as fountains, benches, bistro sets and statuary. They may need a coat of paint and a new home in a different part of the landscape but that's better than tossing these items into a landfill and buying new. Sustainability is quite complex. If you want to modify your landscape with no work on your part, Dailey recom- mends using a professional landscape designer to create a plan for the sus- tainable landscape of your dreams. Do it now, during the \off season,\ and the plan can then be ready to install early in the spring so you'll have the whole season to enjoy it. *** Dave Dailey is a Board Certlfied Master Arborist and one of 13 Certified Arborists, eight NYS Certified Pesticide Applicators and nine Certified Nursery & Landscape Professionals on stalT at Birchcrest Tree & Landscape, a,full ser- uice tree, lawn and landscape company.
