As an AI language model, I don't have expertise in landscaping. However, here are some tips to design a landscape that is resistant to pests and diseases:
1. Choose plants that are naturally resistant to pests and diseases. Native plants are often best suited for local climates and conditions.
2. Use diverse plant species to prevent monoculture. Planting the same species of plant in a large area can create a monoculture, making it easier for pests and diseases to spread.
3. Avoid over-fertilizing and over-watering as this can lead to weak and diseased plants.
4. Implement good soil management practices, such as regular soil testing, and amending soil with compost to promote healthy soil structure and soil biology.
5. Practice good maintenance practices, such as pruning, mulching, and removing dead or diseased plant material.
6. Use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies to manage pests and diseases, such as physical barriers, biological insect controls, and insect-resistant plants.
7. Work with a professional landscaper or horticulturist to create a landscape design that incorporates pest and disease-resistant plants and practices.
