Saving the Bay: The Role of Chesapeake Bay Landscape Certified Professionals
When Level Green Landscaping account manager Carlos Suarez-Aguilar is out in the field working on commercial properties, he’s not just looking for weeds and lawn diseases —he’s looking out for the earth.
Are there places where environmentally friendly native plants should be hard at work filtering stormwater? Are customers’ retention and detention ponds working properly?
It’s not just part of the job for him. He considers himself a steward of the land.
Not all landscaping company crews know the best environmentally friendly practices, Suarez-Aguilar says.
“It’s important to work with somebody knowledgeable and certified,” he says, “who knows exactly what needs to be done.”
Somebody like him.
Suarez-Aguilar is one of several team members at Level Green Landscaping who have earned the Chesapeake Bay Landscape Professional certification, which allows practitioners to verify functionality and effectiveness of stormwater facilities as well as focused training on maintaining the attributes for their optimal function.
The landscaping certification is administered by the Chesapeake Conservation Landscaping Council, a non-profit dedicated to conservation landscaping to protect the Chesapeake Bay.
