LED lighting uses low voltage energy use to save on electric costs

Brine uses less salt usage compared to straight rock salt and starts working faster than straight salt. Brine also does not track into buildings like rock salt.

Treated salt can reduce salt application rates by 30% needed on properties. Like brine treated salt starts working faster. Treated salt also works in lower temperatures compared to rock salt. Regular rock salt loses effectiveness around 15 degrees as for treated salt can work to -20 degrees. We use an organic liquid called Beet Juice to treat salt and mix with brine. This product is less corrosive than regular salt or brine.

Native plantings are generally lower maintenance and use less water. They adapt better to local climates reducing the need to apply pesticides resulting in a more environmentally friendly landscape.

Using turf type fescue grass seed creates a healthier lawn. TTTF’s roots penetrate deeper into the soil, so it is more drought- and disease-resistant and wear-tolerant than other lawn grasses. Turf type tall fescue provides benefits saving water usage but also keeping the bluegrass lawn look everyone loves.

We recycle as much as possible by mulching the leaves back into the lawn when we can and also by turning any trimmings or plant material into mulch. This allows us to keep as much as possible out of the landfills.
