We’re committed to providing earthfriendly, electric-powered landscaping to our clients and contributing positively to the overall health of the environment in a responsible way. The differences between traditional, gas-powered landscaping and eco-friendly electric-powered landscaping are clear:

Destructive Gas-Powered Landscaping
  • 6-11% of U.S. pollution comes from gas-powered landscape equipment.
  • The EPA states that, in one hour, the average push mower expels as much carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and nitrogen oxide as 43 new-model cars.
  • An estimated 17 million gallons of gas is spilled annually while people are refueling mowers and lawn equipment. That’s more than the 1989 Valdez oil spill.
  • Weedeaters, blowers, and hedge trimmers release 25-30% of their oil and gas unburned into the air, contributing to low-level air pollution and possible lung cancer.
  • Gas-powered weedeaters‘ and blowers’ decibel levels can cause irreparable hearing damage.
  • Run-off from excessive fertilization and pesticides from lawns, golf courses, and farmland pollutes streams, rivers, and groundwater. This run-off can create huge dead zones from the increase of nitrates.
EarthFriendly Electric-Powered Landscaping
  • Our company is reducing our carbon footprint and becoming carbon-neutral through our earthfriendly practices. Through sustainable lawncare practices, we will professionally maintain your residential or commercial landscape.
  • All our equipment is zero emissions, powered exclusively by using our self-sustainable mobile charging system, with an array of solar panels and a wind turbine, which means we’re not utilizing grid-tied energy. Our equipment is pollutant-free and creates minimal noise pollution.
  • Our fleet runs on local waste vegetable oil (WVO) biodiesel, reducing our need for refined oil or gas to power our vehicles.
  • We responsibly maintain the health of turf, plants, soil, and water through the use of organic fertilizers and pesticides.
  • To conserve water while meeting your watering needs without using chlorinated city water or depleting the local water tables from well points, we design rainwater collection systems for irrigation and xerigation (drip-line irrigation).
