SKAB is committed to creating climate-resilient landscapes that are both sustainable and adaptable to the challenges posed by climate change. As global weather patterns shift, landscape designs focus on ensuring that outdoor spaces can thrive despite extreme weather, rising temperatures, and water scarcity.
A core principle of this approach is selecting native and drought-tolerant plants. These species are naturally suited to local climates, requiring minimal water and care, which reduces the overall environmental footprint. Thoughtful plant selection is key to building landscapes that endure while minimizing the need for ongoing resources.
Water management plays a crucial role in climate-resilient designs. Solutions such as rain gardens, permeable pavements, and green roofs are integrated to manage stormwater efficiently and reduce urban runoff. These features not only help mitigate flooding but also support natural water cycles, reducing pressure on city infrastructure.
Biodiversity remains a central focus in landscape designs, creating habitats that support a wide variety of plant and animal species to maintain balanced ecosystems as climate conditions evolve. Additionally, shade trees and reflective materials are incorporated to combat the urban heat island effect, making outdoor spaces more comfortable.
Through climate-resilient landscaping, SKAB remains dedicated to designing outdoor environments that thrive now and in the future, promoting sustainability and adaptability.
