Abstract

In recent years,
the droughts which have been occurring as a result of global warming, indicate
that we need to take serious measures regarding water saving. Contributing to
the preservation of the ecological equilibrium by creating environmentally
conscious projects in landscape design confronts us as a requirement of
professional discipline. In this regard, the necessity to gravitate towards
uses which can save water instead of wide grass fields becomes obvious. Stone
garden designs, which we encounter in this very moment, present an
environmentally friendly alternative to aquatic gardens.

It is thought
that, alongside saving water with stone garden designs, the geotextile
materials used in these designs would prevent the stones sinking into soil as
well as preventing the occurrence of weed, hence lessening the usage of
chemicals thus generating gains with regards to decreasing soil pollution.
Based on this, the performances of the texturally and structurally different
geotextile materials chosen as samples were tested at the testing grounds at
the Ege University Bayındır Vocational Training School Campus. Recommendations
with regards to ecologically conscious stone garden landscape designing have
been made in accordance with the gathered findings.
