NOTE TO USERS: Most of the sites provided in the planning topic pages are either from government, non-profit, or educational agencies; however, some of the sites are commercial and are included because of the array of materials provided in the site. The planning topic pages are provided as a public service and are not meant to endorse one site over another nor to endorse any commercial enterprise. Site suggestions are welcome, although all suggestions will go through a screening process. In order to suggest a site for inclusion, email the planning department webmaster. |
This represents the minimum standards established by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. Landscaping is not, however, the only available method. Please see the Stormwater Management Information pages for other methods.
The Virginia Cooperative Extension Service offers a broad range of materials on home gardening (including monthly garden tips, articles on annuals, perennials, and bulbs, and landscaping maintenance and construction) and landscaping (tree selection, insect identification, and pruning), as well as a host of other subjects. If you are landscaping in Virginia, this should be your first stop. If you are looking at this page, but not from Virginia, please check with your state's cooperative extension service for information specific to your climate and needs. Most cooperative extension services are administered by the states' landgrant universities.
