Sustainability
As a leader for over four decades in the landscape industry, it is our responsibility to preserve our natural resources. As a result, we have focused our efforts on lowering our impact on the environment. When it comes to maintaining your landscape we offer green services that include: organic plant healthcare, use of beneficial insects, rain water collection, low flow irrigation systems equipped with smart controllers, and the incorporation of native plant species in the landscape.
We also take pride in maintaining our facilities in an environmentally friendly manner. We recycle our vehicle waste oil to heat our offices, perform preventative maintenance on our vehicles and equipment, direct report and direct ship materials to job sites to reduce fuel consumption, recycle runoff water to irrigate inventory plants, and we have introduced and upgraded technology to reduce paper waste. We are committed to do our part in the protection and preservation of the environment and natural resources.
