Organic Landscapers
Below is a short list of landscapers that offer organic gardening and electric-powered land care options. We want to grow this list! If you know of others, please reach out to us. And if you love your current landscape crew but they are still using gas-powered equipment, consider discussing ways they might transition their offerings to include a more earth-friendly approach. These crews are there to serve you and these businesses may appreciate your input.
Given the increasing concern about the health effects of lawn chemicals, some companies will say “we do it all – organic/inorganic and we will do organic if you like.” Be cautious. Some will revert to their inorganic ways quite quickly, then you’re back in the kill-and-chemical cycle again. An organic program should involve building the soil with organic fertilizers and overseeding for weed control.
