ENVIRONMENT & COMMUNITY

Kane Landscapes, Inc. is committed to sustainable business practices, both environmentally and socially. We continually strive to find new and innovative ways to reduce our waste, improve our strategies and serve the communities in which our company thrives.

Environmental Initiatives

  • At both the project site and our office/shop we continually look for ways to reduce and recycle our waste, as well as to neutralize our carbon footprint.
  • Cut down on carbon emissions by purchasing quality vehicles and equipment, and by following strict maintenance guidelines to ensure our fleet and equipment are running properly and efficiently.
  • Source our supplies locally, which minimizes emissions from deliveries from out of state suppliers.
  • Kane Landscapes became one of the first certified Permeable paver installation companies in the area.
  • Encourage our mangers to become LEED Green Associates
  • Encourage our clients to using plants that are appropriate for their site condition an incorporate more landscape beds with plants as opposed to larger, water consuming turf areas.
  • Advise clients on proper water techniques and the use of intelligent irrigation systems, such as weather-matic controllers, rain sensors, drip and low volume emitters as well as water collection cisterns and gray water usage.
  • Our Lawn Care Program uses slow-release, granular fertilizer and spot spraying for weeds to reduce the amount of chemicals that flow into ground water, while still providing the green lush lawns our customers take pride in.
