Sustainable Organic Lawn Care Services
“Safety for Humans, Animals, and the Planet – Clean, Quiet & Renewable”
Lawn care services from Clean Air Lawn Care Corvallis are a full-service eco-friendly alternative to traditional lawn care.
Sustainable Lawn Care
Sustainable lawn care means using clean electric and powered equipment for lawn mowing and maintenance that is run on renewable energy. Clean Air Lawn Care’s electric equipment is charged during the day by solar panels mounted on our trucks. Because we’re electric, our equipment is also noticeably quiet. We’re also committed to educating our customers and the public on sustainable lawn cares.
Sustainable Lawn Care Benefits
• Electric mowers emit 3,300 times less hydrocarbons, 5,000 times less CO, one-fifth as much NOx as gas lawn mowers.
• Emissions are reduced to zero when run on renewable energy.
• Electric equipment is 50 – 70% quieter than gas-powered lawn equipment.
Our Sustainable Lawn Care Practices
• Electric equipment is charged using solar panels on our trucks and wind energy powering our shops.
• All of our greenhouse gas emissions are offset by wind power and carbon offsets purchased from Carbonfund.org to ensure our entire operation is carbon-neutral.
• All grass clippings and organic matter is recycled, either on site or at a local recycling center.
• We mow at a height that maximizes water conservation and nutrient uptake.
Basic Lawn Care Services
• Mowing - Accessible turf areas mowed per customer service agreement. Grass clippings are mulched when possible, composted on site, or removed to an organic waste recycling center.
• Trimming - Turf areas adjacent to curbs, sidewalks, driveways & patios trimmed.
• Edging - Edging performed at start of service each season and maintained through the year.
• Blowing/Clean-up - Sidewalks, patios, porches & driveways blown with each mowing.
Additional Lawn Care Services
• Spring/Fall Clean Up - Prepare your yard and beds for Spring/Fall weeding, pruning perennials and grasses (other bushes and hedges as necessary), remove leaves and debris, and mulch if required.
• Mulch Installation - Includes prepping beds, selection & delivery of mulch, and spreading mulch to dramatically reduce weed population, retain moisture & improve the overall appearance.
• Moss Treatment/Thatching – Spring Moss treatment and rake out services to help you build thealthy turf. Moss treatment is typically followed up by the aeration-overseeding-topdressing.
• Core Aeration/Overseeding - We offer core aeration in the spring and fall to reduce compaction and thatch layer. Aeration also helps provide oxygen and vital nutrients directly to the root zone. It is recommended annually and should be done in conjunction with organic fertilization.
• Topdressing - Applying a layer of topdressing can be done with or without overseeding to provide vital nutrients to the soil to build a healthy lawn and soil base. This should be completed in the spring and may be required as part of a core aeration/overseeding.
• Bed Maintenance/Shrub Service - Light pruning, weeding, and overall general maintenance of beds is included with a bed maintenance package. Complete fall cleanup/removal of leaves can be included in general bed maintenance. Service provided once a month, but can be customized to fit your situation.
