Sustainable Landscape Solutions

You want to create a landscape that will conserve natural resources and promote sustainability for the long-term future. This is something that we embrace as part of our core values and we implement sustainable practices internally wherever we can. We also offer sustainable commercial landscaping services including Organic Lawn Care, Smart Irrigation and Water Management, Rain Gardens and Bioretention Ponds, and Native Habitats in order to help our clients embrace a sustainable property, or to achieve LEED Certification.

In order to get the most out of sustainable landscaping, it’s important to work with a company that has both experience and expertise in these practices. We have multiple staff members certified as Chesapeake Bay Landscape Professionals. This certification helps ensure we are maintaining a high-level of knowledge and professionalism in this field.

Organic Maintenance

Whether you live in a jurisdiction where traditional herbicides have been banned or you are just looking for more natural solutions, we offer organic lawn and landscape maintenance. With an organic approach we use organic fertilizers, and products to insure a green lawn, and to help control weeds and pests. While this can be effective, realistic expectations are important. Lawn and landscape areas treated with organic products are going to have a more naturalized look and more weed pressure than those using a traditional program.

Smart Irrigation and Water Management

Water is our most precious resource and conserving it means mitigating wasteful practices like improper irrigation, and the use of outdated rain gauges. Upgrading to a smart irrigation system means you can water your property with enhanced efficiency and less waste. A smart controller can adjust watering to real-time weather conditions, fine tuning the amount of water that is applied in the landscape. A smart irrigation system can also provide notifications about leaks, breaks, or other issues with your system, helping to support water conservation. We can also analyze your water usage and irrigation output to ensure your system is running as efficiently as possible. Water waste is both costly and unnecessary with today’s newest technology.

Rain Gardens and Bioretention Ponds

Stormwater solutions, including both Rain Gardens and Bioretention Ponds have been increasingly in demand as more municipalities seek effective solutions for runoff. Rain Gardens use a combination of native landscape plants and filtration materials to encourage reabsorption of excess rainwater. Bioretention Ponds, are similar but are more heavily engineered to handle larger areas and capture more water. These sustainable landscape solutions can be complex and require expertise in stormwater management. It’s important that both Rain Gardens and Bioretention Ponds are installed and maintained in a way that is compliant with local ordinances. There are specific practices and standards required in order to maintain the ongoing upkeep of these vital systems.

Native Habitats

When seeking eco-friendly landscaping solutions, many property managers are interested in the use of native plants to create habitats that are beneficial to pollinators, birds, and wildlife. We are fortunate to have many beautiful plants that are native to Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland. These plants naturally require less water and care because they are well-adapted to our region. That also means they’re lower maintenance. Creating Native Habitats requires an expertise in horticulture and an eye for aesthetics.
