        "text": "A sustainable landscape generally requires less intensive, but more thoughtful, maintenance compared to a traditional landscape. While initial establishment may require care, the selection of native and drought-tolerant plants means reduced watering, fertilizing, and pruning over time. Traditional landscapes often rely on thirsty, non-native plants requiring frequent irrigation and chemical inputs. Sustainable designs also minimize large areas of high-maintenance lawn and incorporate elements like permeable pathways that reduce runoff. Overall, sustainable landscaping aims for a self-sustaining ecosystem that thrives with minimal intervention once established.",
