Protecting Costa Rica’s Beauty While Designing for the Future

In Costa Rica, nature isn’t just a backdrop—it’s the heart of daily life. That’s why at Redizon Landscaping, sustainability isn’t a trend or a bonus feature—it’s a core value that guides every decision we make. We believe your landscape should thrive in harmony with the local environment, not compete with it.

Our approach ensures that your outdoor space is not only beautiful and functional today—but also resilient, efficient, and ecologically responsible for years to come.

What Is Sustainable Landscaping?

Sustainable landscaping means creating outdoor spaces that are environmentally responsible, resource-efficient, and built to endure. In the tropics, that involves carefully balancing design with nature—preserving what’s already working, while enhancing it with thoughtful, low-impact interventions.

How Redizon Designs with Sustainability in Mind

Here are the key principles we integrate into every project:

Soil Preservation and Erosion Control: Healthy soil is the foundation of any thriving landscape. We design grading and drainage systems that protect the land from erosion—especially critical in Costa Rica’s rainy climate. This safeguards not just your property, but the surrounding ecosystem.
Native Plant Palettes: We prioritize native and climate-adapted plants that are well-suited to local conditions. These species support biodiversity, attract pollinators, and require less water and care than imported alternatives—helping your garden flourish naturally.
Water-Wise Irrigation: Our irrigation systems are designed to minimize water use without compromising plant health. We use techniques like drip irrigation and moisture sensors to ensure water goes where it’s needed—efficiently and sustainably.
Low-Maintenance, Resource-Efficient Design: We aim to reduce long-term inputs like fertilizers, pesticides, and fuel. Our layouts consider growth patterns, light exposure, and soil type to ensure every plant is placed for long-term success with minimal upkeep.
