Our Purpose

Our purpose is to... build an energy efficient lawn care business. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), one hour operating a new gasoline lawn mower emits the same amount of volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxide driving a new car 45 miles. Garden equipment engines produce up to 5% of the nation’s air pollution. By using all electric lawn equipment, we cut down on noise and emissions. As far as emissions are concerned versus gas; there are none when we’re working with all electricity. Electric also exceeds the torque of a gas power which means even better cutting to make your lawn look perfect. My purpose for offering my community these services are to help with my carbon footprint on the planet by cutting fumes out the air. It will also allow us to services those on a fixed income, with plans to offer snow removal as well.
