We're Green

Garpiel Landscaping has been helping the environment since the company’s inception. We’ve been planting trees, shrubs and flowers all over the state of Michigan. Garpiel Landscaping has blossomed into a culture of doing business as ecologically friendly as possible. We continue to identify areas where we as a company can improve our Earth-friendly and green standards. Among our ongoing initiatives:

• We instituted a recycling program within our facility to reduce, reuse and recycle as much as possible. We have a trash bin for the sole purpose of recycling paper and plastic products rather than placing all of our refuge into one container.
  
  

• We established a recycling program for metals used in our industry. All of the scrap metal from old lawn mower blades and snow plows, as well as other metal items, are recycled. Funds generated from the recycled metals program are designated for funding continuing education programs for our staff.
  
  

• Rising fuel costs and the continued effects that fossil fuel consumption has on our planet helped us to realize that we could be doing more. Garpiel Landscaping is extremely proud to be one of the first landscape companies in the area to switch some of our vehicles to hybrid and fuel-efficient 4-cylinder models. This helps to reduce emissions and reduce operating costs, which translates into savings for our clients.
  
  

• We research the products we use for the cleaning and maintenance of our vehicle fleet and building custodial care. We make every effort to use products that are recognized as being “green” and non-toxic.
