It seems like everybody is “going green” these days. We have always had a strong commitment to the environment so this is nothing new to us, but we view being “green” as an evolving process. We are constantly looking for ways to evolve in this area in our office, shop and field operations.
Water conservation and water management in the yard is an area that we are becoming more interested in and we are available to provide rain gardens and rain harvesting to clients who are also interested in this. We have installed a rainwater detention pond on our property and we divert rainwater from our roof into underground seepage tanks to replenish groundwater.
Low voltage lighting is another area where we have been able to make strides and have provided savings as well as added beauty and value for our clients.
We also have plans for adding solar panels to our roof to save on energy costs and we have a commitment to in-house recycling.
These are some of the ways that we hope to provide value and a sense of commitment to the earth, our community and to our clients.
