HOW “GREEN” CAN A LAWN CARE COMPANY BE?
Organo-Lawn Truly Cares About The Environment
Taking responsibility for our environment and our actions is crucial, and at Organo-Lawn, we wholeheartedly support this principle. As an organic lawn care company, we not only minimize the use of harmful pesticides and fertilizers on lawns and trees, but we also implement sustainable business practices to reduce our overall impact. Below are some of the ways Organo-Lawn is dedicated to fostering a healthy and sustainable relationship with our environment.
Environmental Lawn Care
Biodiesel Oil Fueled Trucks
Our vehicles can run on biodiesel, and whenever possible, we purchase and use biodiesel. By using biodiesel, we reduce our dependency on fossil fuels.
Fuel Sponsors
The following restaurants generously donate their used vegetable oil to be cleaned and turned into biodiesel. Please support our effort in using a waste product to power vehicles by supporting their businesses.
The Rio Grande Mexican Restaurants – Boulder – Fort Collins
High Efficiency Lighting
Our shop is illuminated by highly efficient, low wattage compact fluorescent light and LED light bulbs. This not only reduces our energy consumption, but also eliminates the waste created by burned out bulbs. Also our shop and office is wrapped in energy efficient windows, allowing us to operate under the full light of the sun creating less need for electrical light.

Wind Power
We have been purchasing wind energy from Xcel energy since 2004. This energy powers 100% of our shop and office.
Recycled Materials
When we build equipment we use as much recycled and reclaimed materials as possible. We use recycled paper to print our invoices and drop sheets. We also have a very successful recycling program where we recycle all of our paper waste products and commingled container products.
Planting Trees
Every year Organo-Lawn plants at least 1 new tree at our office in Boulder, Colorado. Planting a tree is an easy way to reduce the carbon footprint. Each tree we plant will help combat the carbon dioxide we produce with the use of our small engines. It is our duty to make sure we are limiting the negative impact that our daily operations make on the environment.
“The best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago; the second best time is now!”
Our Pet Friendly Lawn Care Team
Organo-Lawn recognizes that our current efforts may seem small compared to what is possible. However, we are committed to growth and are continuously exploring ways to enhance our sustainability practices. We are planning to install solar power systems so that we can operate off the grid in the near future. While we strive to create the most sustainable environment possible, we understand that there is still much more work to be done. We value your feedback and invite you to help us in our mission to create a more sustainable Organo-Lawn in the future.
