Lux Research reports that "green roofs and green walls, sought to address environmental issues like air pollution, heat-island effect and loss of green spaces in cities, will balloon into a $7.7 billion market in 2017, driven by mandates and incentives by cities across the globe." You can see the entire press release here. Green roofs will be about $7 billion, while green walls will see about $680 million. That's not too shabby for what some deem simply a "green curiosity."
In fact, LM's December issue will feature a Project Portfolio whose centerpiece is a green wall in an indoor space. Rather than a mere curiosity, the installation has become a popular local landmark and meeting place in town.
So now, it's your turn: Are you seeing more requests for green roofs and/or walls for projects? What do you like (or dislike) about installing and maintaining them? —Heather Gooch

Hey! I am glad to stop by your site and know more about lawn care. Keep it up! This is a good read. You have such an interesting and informative page. I will be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about lawn care in your area.
Various organic and inorganic or synthetic fertilizers are available, with instant or time-release applications. Pesticides, which includes biological and chemical herbicides, insecticides and fungicides, are available. Consideration for their effects on the lawn and garden ecosystem, and via runoff and dispersion on the surrounding environment, can constrain their use. For example, the Canadian province of Quebec and over 130 municipalities prohibit the use of synthetic lawn pesticides.In order for the lawn to grow and flourish, the soil must be prepared properly. If this step is overlooked as many do, the lawn will burn out as soon as it runs out of nutrients. The Ontario provincial government promised on September 24, 2007 to also implement a province-wide ban on the cosmetic use of lawn pesticides, for protecting the public. Medical and environmental groups support such a ban. On April 22, 2008, the Provincial Government of Ontario announced that it will pass legislation that will prohibit, province-wide, the cosmetic use and sale of lawn and garden pesticides. The Ontario legislation would also echo Massachusetts law requiring pesticide manufacturers to reduce the toxins they use in production.
