WHY CHOOSE SLC?
In today’s world, sustainability has many different definitions and numerous approaches. We focus on sustainability and realize the many benefits that occur when practicing these thoughtful methods. We have several goals for each property:
- Fertilize organically with programs designed from the soil test results. We also use fertigation systems to avoid excess runoff and leaching of fertilizers.
- Amend and protect soils with mulches and compost.
- Water wisely with the use of irrigation audits, improved system efficiency and Smart irrigation controllers.
- Prune selectively, only as needed on all trees and shrubs.
- Minimize fuel consumption and labor with efficient scheduling practices and timing of maintenance tasks.
- Plant strategically with the proper selection of plant materials for the area and microclimates for the floral programs, landscape repairs and new installation projects.
- Build healthy soils.
- Grass-cycle turf areas and spring/fall cleanups.
- Repurpose organic materials on-site.
- Recycle organic materials off-site.
When we combine the best available science with the power and wisdom of nature, we can create sustainable landscapes for commercial properties. Embracing this strategy will:
- Lower water & maintenance costs.
- Prepare for drought conditions.
- Provide for wildlife.
- Create a beautiful, natural environment.
- Lower temperature.
- Trap particulate pollution.
- Reduce noise.
