Question

Any ideas on how a landscaping company can "go green"?

This is a small locally based landscaping business that provids mowing, trimming, landscape design, and snow removal. We want to slowly start going green. So besides recycling we haven't really done much else. We can not afford to switch mowers or trucks over to fuel effeciant just yet. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, That is a great idea... Maybe you can try some of these things.. - Talk your customers into going green or educate them with "green landscape material" - Eco friendly lawns - safe pesticides and fertilizers -Organic items.. Best of luck

Offer to donate a seedling tree to the boy scouts/ girl scouts or just who ever in general for each tree or large shrub a customer has you plant. Kinda like a " you plant, I plant deal" The seedlings are very cheap{pine are probably under $25 for 25} and creates a positive green image for your customers that you are helping the enviornment. Thats just an idea off the top of my head...
