Cover Story: In this study, an interdisciplinary team of researchers and practitioners evaluate the impacts of designed landscapes on several environmental outcomes essential for urban sustainability. The results indicate that key landscape choices such as the selection of drought-tolerant plants and a diverse native plant palette can simultaneously enhance water conservation, increase resources for pollinators, and reduce maintenance impacts. Importantly, the designs that rated highly for visual quality were also those that supported other environmental benefits. In urban landscapes, aesthetic appeal is often a top priority, and these results indicate that visual quality does not need to be sacrificed to design landscapes that additionally support water conservation and provide resources for pollinators.
