Green landscaping, as in environmentally friendly, isn't as easy as it first appears. Gardening may seem natural, but we're actually manipulating nature at every turn.

About's Landscaping Guide, David Beaulieu, has put together a list of 10 Ideas for Environment-Friendly or "Green" Living Landscaping, to take us even further. While we look for better ways to fuel our cars and heat our homes, we shouldn't over look what we do in our yards and gardens.
