| CLEAN AIR LAWN CARE
CLEAN, QUIET & ORGANIC |
| We now offer an all-natural, organic treatment & fertilization program to ensure your yard is beautiful and safe for your children, pets, & waterways |
We use clean, electric equipment powered by renewable energy
- Electric mowers emit 3,300 times less hydrocarbons, 5,000 times less CO, one-fifth as much NOx as gas lawn mowers.
- Emissions are reduced to zero when run on renewable energy
- Electric equipment is 50 - 70% quieter than gas-powered lawn equipment
|
| Our electric equipment is charged using solar panels mounted on our trucks and wind energy powering our shops |
| We run our larger mowers on locally produced biofuels |
| All of our greenhouse gas emissions are offset by wind power and carbon offsets purchased from Carbonfund.org to ensure our entire operation is carbon-neutral |
| All grass clippings and organic matter are recycled, either on site or at a local recycling center |
| We mow at a height that maximizes water conservation and nutrient uptake |

| CONVENTIONAL LAWN SERVICES
DIRTY, LOUD & USE HARMFUL CHEMICALS |
| Small engines contribute 5-10% of the nation’s air pollution |
According to the EPA, in 1 hour, 1 gas lawn mower:
- Pollutes the same as 40 late model cars
- Emits the same amount of hydrocarbons (precursors to ground-level ozone) as a SUV driven 23,600 miles
- Contribute 93 times more smog-forming emissions than 2006 cars
|
| The average gas lawn mower runs at 100 decibels – anything over 90 decibels causes hearing damage |
| Gas lawn mowers consume 580 million gallons of gasoline annually |
| A 1000 square foot lawn generates 300 pounds of clippings annually, rapidly filling up landfills |
| Many lawn services mow at a height that burns the grass, wastes water, and promotes weed growth |
| Synthetic fertilizers and pesticides leach into waterways, create yards unfit for children & pets, and deplete the soil’s organic matter |
