A Commercial Landscaping Company Can Reduce Your Carbon Footprint 

  • Install a sustainable landscape: Planting an eco-friendly garden is easier than you think. It involves selecting grass, plants and trees that are suitable to your growing conditions and need less water. Low water use or drought resistant plants are easier to maintain and will also reduce your irrigation requirements. 
  • Make energy conservation a part of your budgeting plan: Strategic placement of trees and shrubs can lower your energy consumption. Plan landscapes with plants that will shield your premises from the summer heat and let in the warmth of the sun in winter reducing your cooling and heating bills.  
  • Choose water-efficient irrigation systems: Drip irrigation and SMART controllers use water efficiently. Applying water to ET rates gives plants and lawns exactly what they need while avoiding run offs and puddles. 
  • Mulch to retain moisture:Mulching has numerous benefits for commercial landscape maintenance. It reduces evaporation, protects your plants from temperature fluctuations and deters the growth of weeds. The colorful mulches available today also enhance landscape appearance. 
  • Practice natural weed, pest and disease control: A commercial lawn maintenance company makes it easier to deal with weeds, pests and disease without the use of harmful chemicals. Use good quality topsoil, and install landscape fabric or mulch to prevent weed growth. Be meticulous about spring and fall clean up, including your trees to reduce the risk of disease. Use organic herbicides to deal with persistent problems.  
  • Reduce green waste: A landscape maintenance company that provides composting will reduce the amount of waste that goes to the landfill. This nutrient rich compost can be used to fertilize your lawn and plants. 

An eco-friendly landscaping company can install and maintain a sustainable landscape reducing your carbon footprint. Do your bit to save the planet for future generations.
