For Property Managers

Sustainable landscapes improve your property.

 

Clients today want "green" buildings and landscapes. Local codes and market forces are moving towards sustainable practices: soil restoration, reduced chemical use, water conservation, waste recycling, site appropriate plantings, and beautiful healthy green environments.

Some practices like hand weeding instead of pesticides cost a little more in labor, but many like mulching, grasscycling, and water conservation practices can reduce costs.

Sustainable landscaping benefits

  • Reduce water & waste disposal costs
  • Reduce chemical inputs
  • Grow healthier landscapes that look good year around
  • Attract environment-conscious customers
